Meadowlark Lyrics

Darkness sparkles the edge of dawn
Like a heart that's turned stone cold
The ones I love are dead and gone
And I am growing old
Oh, my heart is whispering, "Go back north"
To the north I truly love
I'd follow the geese, but they're heading south
So I'll follow the mourning dove

When I get there, I'll build a fire
And stare into the flames
For every single spark that flies
I'll remember a loved one's name
When spring surrounds the winter ground
And the ice falls from the nest
When winter sings with a voice of spring
I'll be heading for the west

I have live and I have died
A thousand of your deaths
I've partaken a thousand times
The sweetness of your breath
I have held you in my eyes
With my hands cupped 'neath your breasts
Shall I follow the meadowlark
And lay me down to rest?
And lay me down to rest?

I will not follow the meadowlark
I'll follow the mourning dove
I'll prove my wings both strong and true
Till I found the one I love
I shan´t forsake the meadowlark
She did not forsake me
To the meadowlark godspeed
To the meadowlark godspeed

Ah, the eagle got us in the air
And the buzzard picked our bones
The meadowlark sang us songs
The mourning dove took us home

Darkness sparkles the edge of dawn
Like a heart that's turned stone cold
The ones I love are dead and gone
And I am growing old
Oh, my heart is whispering, "Go back north"
To the north I truly love
I'd follow the geese, but they're heading south
So I'll follow the mourning dove
I'll follow the mourning dove
