Canary Lyrics
[Verse 1]
There’s a shadow hanging heavy
There’s a cold chill in my bones
It’s a steep road, and I am weary
It’s a long, long way from home
[Chorus]
But I will not shut my eyes
No, I will not fall silent
Canary in the mine
Oh, I will, honey I will
I will sing
I will sing
[Verse 2]
There's a madness in a cavern
There’s a darkness that can blind
Where it's every man for himself
No one’s getting out alive
[Chorus]
But I will not shut my eyes
No, I will not fall silent
Canary in the mine
Oh, I will, ooh, honey I will
I will sing
I will sing
[Bridge]
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing, canary, sing
Sing, sing, sing, come on
Sing, sing, sing
Sing, sing, sing, canary, sing
[Chorus - Modified]
Oh, I will sing
I will sing
[Outro]
There’s a shadow hanging heavy
There’s a cold chill in my bones
