I got a song and I got a prayer For a little bird trying to get south from here Pretty alright but all out of breath She got a little branch to rest on and nothing much else Throw down her body for one more mile One more night 'til she can sleep awhile Blood in her eyes light out another day Little bit faster to keep the cold away Got a feeling in her gut just comes calling Got no end just keeps a howlin' There is a valley full of memory and shadow She ain't divided in herself and the ghosts don't follow Throw down her body and light up her soul She's searching for diamonds and sifting through coal Her hands are shaky she let go of tomorrow She gonna fly away free from this world so narrow.
