Birds Flying Away - Streetlight Manifesto

[00:02.63]I left my country when I was nineteen
[00:07.18]1925
[00:10.81]And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
[00:15.57]Met a woman who became my life
[00:19.22]And oh when I saw her
[00:24.04]The darkness fled from me
[00:27.54]And flew like a blackbird into the sun
[00:31.74]On the day she married me
[00:36.40]Dear God...
[01:07.49]But now the drumbirds come for me
[01:11.49]Oh now the drumbirds come for me
[01:15.44]Lord give me forgiveness
[01:18.02]For all that I have done
[01:20.19]Forgive me now of the weight I bear
[01:21.94]Don't keep me on the run
[01:23.67]Dear God
[01:26.07]Dear God
[01:28.00]I remember climbing up those shoulders
[01:32.31]And coming up under you like a lion
[01:36.49]And coming down like we were dying
[01:40.39]Dear God
[02:14.30]I left my country when I was nineteen
[02:16.17]1925
[02:18.36]And drifted to a town on the Cuban coast
[02:20.35]Met a woman who became my life
[02:22.43]And oh when I saw her
[02:24.53]The darkness fled from me
[02:26.57]And flew like a blackbird into the sun
[02:28.63]On the day she married me
[02:30.62]Dear God
[02:32.20]Dear God
[02:34.76]I remember climbing up those shoulders...
