To Chase Away The Birds Lyrics - Waterdeep

Black crows flying in your wheat field 

Babies cryin', all you got's a paper shield 

It don't make much sense to you 

Who said it had to? 

Most folks smile away the blues 

I mean I... I guess they do 

You never really know for sure 

but I'm surviving on this hunch that everybody else is hurtin' too 

He was crazy 

Crazy but able 

So he excused himself from cleaning up the stable 

This is the way that horses die 

This is the way you learn to lie- 

by sacrificing the real and forgetting how to feal 

I loved him like fire 

We both had similar burning desires 

He kept expecting it all to work out down here 

I just hang on to holy fear
