A graveyard musty and cold 
Smells of springtime 
Smells of mold 
Pick up a truckload full of bones 
There to play a few songs to one who's gone 
There there child 
Don't you cry 
Ain't it good to see a field of blackbirds rise 
CHORUS: 
Some flew east some flew west 
Flying away 
After everything we've read and seen 
Some may leave but I'll stay 
Calling she's calling 
From another day 
Calling she's calling 
Can't you come over here little girl 
Turn over my grave 
Shoo fly don't bother me 
REPEAT CHORUS 
As the sun goes down 
Across the land 
Mother earth meets father time 
And takes his hand 
One is all and all is one again 
Can we be good friends 
Can we be good 
Can we be 
Can we 
Can 
If you have friends in glory land 
Who left because of pain 
Thank God up there they'll die no more 
They'll suffer not again
