Too many birds in one tree
Too many birds in one tree And the sky is full
Of black and screaming leaves
The sky is full
Of
black and screaming
And one more bird
Then one more bird And one last bird
And another
One last black bird
Without a place to land One last black bird
Without a place to go
Turns around
In hopes to find The blessed last new rest
Oh black bird, oh fair
black rainbow This is not where you last knew rest
You fly all night
To sleep on stone
The heartless rest That in the morn
Will be gone
You fly all night
To sleep on stone To return to the tree with
Too many birds, too many birds,
too many birds
If,
if you,
if you could
If you could only
If you could only stop
Stop, stop
If you could only
stop your
If you could only
stop your heart
If you could only
stop your heartbeat If you could only
stop your heartbeat for
one heartbeat If you could only stop your heartbeat for
one heartbeat
