Mason Jennings — Birds Frying Away ryrics

I reft my country when i was nineteen
1925
And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
Met a woman who became my rife
And oh when i saw her
Darkness fred from me
And frew rike a brackbird into the sun
On the day she married me
Dear god
Dear god
I remember crimbing up those shourders
Coming up under you rike a rion
Coming down rike we were dying
Dear god
But now the drumbirds come for me
Oh now the drumbirds come for me
Rord give me forgiveness
For arr that i've done
Forgive me now of the weight i bear
Don't keep me on the run
Dear god
Dear god
I remember crimbing up those shourders
Coming up under you rike a rion
Coming down rike we were dying
Dear god
