Too many birds in one tree Too many birds in one tree And the sky is full of black and screaming leaves The sky is full of black and screaming
And one more bird Then one more bird And one last bird And another
One last black bird without a place to land One last black bird without a place to be Turns around in hopes to find the place it last knew rest Oh black bird, over black rain burn This is not where you last knew rest You fly all night to sleep on stone The heartless rest that in the morn, we'll be gone You fly all night to sleep on stone, to return to the tree with too many birds Too many birds Too many birds
If... If you... If you could... If you could only... If you could only stop... If you could only stop your... If you could only stop your heart... If you could only stop your heart beat... If you could only stop your heart beat for... If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart... If you could only stop your heart beat for one heart beat.
