lyrics

Track 13 Black Wings

Out on my open windowsill
Comes a shadow cold and still
Leaning in to sing his song
In this world I won’t be long

Black wings are sweeping my soul away
Their feathers reaching here as I lay
I see his coal eyes they’re dark as night
His arms are reaching to take my life
So black wings fly, black wings fly

Oh turn him round
Far from my sight and keep me warm
All through the night
I don’t want to hear his song

Out on my open windowsill
Preening there with sharpened bill
God’s right hand has come for me
Why Lord now, how could it be?

Black wings are sweeping my soul away
Their feathers rustling here as I lay
I see his coal eyes they’re dark as night
His arms are reaching to take my life
So black wings fly, black wings fly

I do like this version better than the "earlier" one. I also like "Crash Course in the Blues" The rest is good too. I'm not sure about "She Hangs Out"....it's growing on me! ;-) Dianne M
