Bye Bye Blackbirds - Original Lights

Lights out,
You never even heard the count,
Ringside,
All the disappointed faces can't see your
Hands shake,
Can't feel the evenings slowing down,
Softer,
All the edges lose their fine razor detail,
The quiet derail
Comes as your last nerves
Flicker gently and go out
(instr.)
Words fail,
They put the baby in your arms,
The pulse trail
Leads you back to where the snow,
Quiet and slow, fell over
Dark fields,
Low fields,
Flickers gently and goes out
bridge
The last of the steps feels like Grand Canyon depths and you cross
(Out of the lights)
The bell's ring
Flickers gently and goes out
(instr.)
Words fail,
They put the baby in your arms,
The pulse trail
Leads you back to where the snow,
Quiet and slow, fell over
Dark fields,
Low fields,
Flickers gently and goes out
(instr. ending)
