Able To Sing Lyrics - Beauty Queen Sister - Indigo Girls

I went to a wedding, I brought a song 

I folded it up like a list of thanks at a Praisathon 

The bride was Snow White, the groom was strong 

Trailers as endless as the day is long 

Some days are fairy tales, some days belie 

The four and twenty black birds baked in a pie 

Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king 

That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing, sing, sing 

It's not been proven hard to bring unending start 

And even easier to die from a broken heart 

Oh, was a blind force trauma from the fireworks 

That someone is celebrating while another gets hurt 

Some days are fairy tales, some days belie 

The four and twenty black birds baked in a pie 

Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king 

That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing 

Still I see them in the night 

With their blood red wings alike 

While the rocket's red glare 

Gives proof through the night 

If some things not right 

Some things not right 

In the book of Steven there is no prophecy 

'Cause there was no need for God in the way things came to be 

Some live by faith, some live by proof 

They don't meet up on a friendly road or live under the same roof 

Some days are fairy tales, some days belie 

Four and twenty black birds baked in a pie 

Could open up their sweet throats to serenade a king 

That's a lot of heat to take and still be able to sing, sing, sing 

Sing, sing, sing 

And the birds fall hard like black rain 

Jerking the earth with a portent stain 

Beat like drums, they beat like a wings 

Are we looking? Are we listening? 

Sing, sing, sing, sing 

Sing, sing, sing
