Dedicated, with love, to Ambi Mama

lyrics

Four and twenty blackbirds up in the sky
Four and twenty blackbirds coming in from the afterlife
They land on my balcony, I feed them a handful of rice
Four and twenty blackbirds darken with flight

Four and twenty blackbirds up in the sky
Four and twenty blackbirds rise in a funnel so high
They leave from my balcony, they leave me alone
Four and twenty blackbirds, flying back home

And when I go back there there’s no one around
Your daughters have scattered from your old stomping grounds
You left me the backwaters, you left me an empty town
Four and twenty blackbirds rise up from the ground

Four and twenty blackbirds up in the sky
Four and twenty blackbirds, no pattern to my eye
They leave from my balcony, ascended in flight
They leave me like you before, alone in the light
