Intro

A

AOn a cool September mornin', in the fall of 2'03,

AA crier from Jerusalem broEught the news to Ame.

 His woD7rds were sharp and dreaded, and they made a lonesome sound,

 And they snAapped my heart in two, like a stick stepped on the ground.

 And I crEied and cried and cried, at the cutting of the pain,

 And quAietly said goodbye, so loEng in Jesus' naAme.

 Dark biGrd, watch you fAly,

 Dark biGrd, to another sAky.

 And I'll bCet you were a sight, when you hD7it that cloud of love,

 And flew oAut the other side, in the fEorm of a dAove.

 Dark biArd, dark bird.

ASix feet one and a box of steel, in a pretty coat of black,

AWell I watched the world, watch themselves, waEtch your final aAct.

 And I coD7uldn't help but notice, when they laid you in the earth,

 A trAain went by, headed north, for whatever it is worth.

 Your voice ecD7hoes in the wind, it rumbles through the trees,

 But afAter you've been everywhere, I guEess it's time to leAave.

 Dark biGrd, watch you fAly,

 Dark biGrd, to another sAky.

 And I'll bCet you were a sight, when you hD7it that cloud of love,

 And flew oAut the other side, in the fEorm of a dAove.

 Dark biArd, dark bird.

 DaGrk bAird.
