Till I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed That my savior made I wanna be the bluebird singing Singing to the roses in her yard Roses in her yard her father grew for her It's been raining like Tennessee honey So long I got too heavy to fly Ain't no bluebird ever gets too heavy to sing Lie to me, sing me a song Sing me a song until the morning comes If the morning come, will you lie to me Will you take me to your bed, will you lay me down Till I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed That my savior made We burn the cotton fields down in the valley And ended up with nothing but scars Scars became the lessons that we gave to our children after the war There ain't nothing but the truth of a Magnolia Mountain Where nobody ever dies Steady your soul and ease your worry, they got room Lie to me, sing me a song Sing me a song until the morning comes If the morning come, will you lie to me Will you take me to your bed, will you lay me down Till I'm heavy like the rocks in the riverbed That my savior made

Lonely nights multiplied by the blues That I can't resolve You never knew me but I did my best I'm just lonely inside I guess You gave me everything you really tried Thanks If we were nothing and we're only the past Then I'm just living in a dream I guess A long black dream that takes me down the river To you Where it's almost over And we're almost gone And I can feel the sweet illusion coming Sweet confusion, honey Sweet illusion coming down And I ain't got nothing but love for you now

Without anyone to hold you

G

How will you grow? And in the wildwood trees the wild wind blows And the night-time crushes the hurricane rose And with no one to care for you Who knows?

C

Dm

Em

Blossom for me, rose

F

G

You're the picture of my love Blossom for me, rose Stretch out underneath the stars

F

And when tomorrow comes I will hold you up Little blossom, shining in the sun Without any place to go to What will your soul return to? Without anyone to keep you Where will you go? And in the shadows of the past where you're spinning so fast It's hard to see it coming and it never lasts And with nothing to judge your life by How will you know? Blossom for me, rose You're the picture of my life Blossom for me, rose Stretch out underneath the stars And when tomorrow comes I will hold you up Little blossom, shining in the sun Without anyone to love you What will you blossom into? Without anyone to hold you How will you grow?

Am

You plant a rose, and if the rose comes up

C

Dm

You're thankful to God, and when it doesn't you cuss him

Am

You raise a child and when the child grows up

C

Dm

You got to learn to let go, if you can't learn to love him

Em

C

But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing

Em

Am

Hear all them bells ringing out in the street

G

F

Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe

C

Em

Am

Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street

G

F

Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe

Am

'Cause if I don't believe in love

C

F

Then I don't believe in you

Em

Dm

And I do Now I'm not saying only bad news comes For the people who want it to But you gotta play that music for who's listening You got to have someone you wanna sing it to But, oh, what a beautiful thing when you sing Hear all them bells ringing out in the street Blue sky cracking and it makes me believe Oh, hear all them bells ringing out in the street Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe 'Cause if I don't believe in love Then I don't believe in you And I do

Dm

Close my eyes, see the glorious sunset

Em

Through the windows of a store and I want it

F

Anyway, if I ever felt haunted

G

Dm

G

You were there for me These angry people who are waiting to judge you Have their own judgement that they'll have live up to Open your mouth and if nothing will come through Remember, you're the one that sings, and it's a gift

Dm

G

And life's a beautiful thing, oh, don't waste it doll

Solo

You build a house and if the house comes up You gotta work on that house if wanna make it your home 'Cause everything inside that's not something you own Is what you're taking with you on the day that you go And oh, what a beautiful world when we sing Hear all them bells ringing out in the street Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe Oh, Hear all them bells ringing out in the street Hammer strikes the metal and it makes me believe 'Cause if I don't believe in love Then I don't believe in you And I do

This afternoon with you was something like a letter

I bet you miss your friends As angry as a breeze Tugging hard upon the sails I've been moving through these streets forever From Istanbul to Amsterdam These things inside me, they repeat like broken records Spinning pretty somethings behind my eyes And when I can't look at you I can paint your picture perfectly in my mind And when I get old I'm gonna miss you all the time That wind up in the trees Scattering bluebirds all over the place Shuffling children in the piles of leaves I wish I was the wind, I'd touch your face This afternoon with you was something like a letter The kind that someone writes but never sends And when you're good to me It makes me blue because someday it's gonna end And when we pass on God, I bet you miss your friends Miss your friends God, I bet you miss your friends
