Railroad Earth — Mourning Flies lyrics

Lyrics

what were you dreaming?. .. that made you sweat. . soaking wet. ..
in a fever?
dark wings circling. .. slowly around. . slowly around. . slowly around
what grip held you?. . tossed & turned you. . tossed & turned you?
where were you going? carried away. . carried away. . & calling?
oh. . then mourning flies. . the fields awake & come alive. . darkness goes.
the crows appear. . the scurrying squirrel. . the apple tree deer. .
the sun fills
our bed. . the sun fills our bed
some cloud’s caught us. . trouble all around. . trouble comin' down
six wings circling. . slowly around. . slowly comin' down. . upon me oh. . then mourning flies. . the fields awake & come alive. . darkness goes.
the crows appear. . the scurrying squirrel.. the apple tree deer. .
the sun fills our bed
.. the cats walk our head
they were on my chest. . it was a funny feeling. .
they had a map of my heart. . pulled pieces & parts & flew away. .
the birds were on my breast. . it was a funny feeling. .
they had a map of my soul. . dug for the coal & pulled it out. .
will you ever know?.. i’ll be right there with you. .
i have a map of your heart. . the pieces & parts
to make it whole again
oh. . â til mourning flies. . the fields awake & come alive. .
darkness goes. .
crows appear. . the scurrying squirrel. . the apple tree deer. .
carry me through
.. i’ll carry you
where have you been?
tell me where have you been?
where have you been?
tell me where have you been?
