Artist/Band: Bill Callahan
Lyrics for Song: Too Many Birds
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Bill Callahan



Too many birds in one tree

Too many birds in one tree

And the sky is full of black and screaming leaves

The sky is full of black and screaming



And one more bird

Then one more bird

And one last bird

And another



One last black bird without a place to land

One last black bird without a place to be

Turns around in hopes to find the place it last knew rest

Oh black bird, over black rain burn

This is not where you last knew rest

You fly all night to sleep on stone

The heartless rest that in the morn, we'll be gone

You fly all night to sleep on stone,

to return to the tree with too many birds

Too many birds

Too many birds



If

If you

If you could

If you could only

If you could only stop

If you could only stop your

If you could only stop your heart

If you could only stop your heart beat

If you could only stop your heart beat for

If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart

If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart beat.
