SEVEN BIRDS song lyrics by Joel Sattler

 

thought I saw seven birds

as the sky was turning red

thought I saw seven birds

in the morning so I said

 

thought I saw seven birds

sailing on the wing

thought I saw seven birds

thought I heard them sing

 

Seven birds sit on a wire

Seven worms squirm in a cage

One by one they meet and captured

Boiled in a stew of onion rain

 

Surprise a bird and they'll be others

Waiting in the wings for days

A wedding is a ring by numbers

Steady steady don't you rage

 

thought I saw seven birds

as the sky was turning red

thought I saw seven birds

in the morning so I said

 

thought I saw seven birds

sailing on the wing

thought I saw seven birds

thought I heard them sing

 

Whisper all the time why doncha

Never see another page

Close your head I think you're tired

Thank you buddy just the same

 

Eagles wailing in the mountains

Where the sage incense the wind

Smelling fire five coyotes

Sing a dirge and sing again

 

thought I saw seven birds

as the sky was turning red

thought I saw seven birds

in the morning so I said

 

thought I saw seven birds

sailing on the wing

thought I saw seven birds

thought I heard them sing

 

When the simplest bird the crow

Can no longer bear suspense

Hear him calling out in wonder

Seven birds sit on a fence

 

thought I saw seven birds

as the sky was turning red

thought I saw seven birds

in the morning so I said

 

thought I saw seven birds

sailing on the wing thought

I saw seven birds

 

thought I heard them sing
