Hollow bones and empty nests With just a song inside our chests Just like two blackbirds there waiting for the sun Just like two black birds waiting for the sun And to think we reckoned We'd be warm in summer clothes A wind from the highways tangled up out twisted souls A wind from the highways tangled up our twisted souls Asked myself, "are you afraid to die?" See my skin through holey jeans Time's been pulling at my seams The night times & evenings no slumber have I found Till When I am lying 6 feet underground But there's a special medicine Made for people wandering A melody you could sing until your days are done Just like two blackbirds waiting for the sun I'm not afraid to die
