Lay down my head turn the eyes up to heaven
Oh my Soul! Sing that song once again
How we turned back the day
Stole the bride from the wedding
She was meant for a friend so she said
I saw blackberry birds in a blue pale sky
And I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
My feelings are black but my memories are white
And I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
And so we had our black forest wedding
Carved our names into the woods
She held my hand and took all of my sorrows
And buried all my bad moods
I saw blackberry birds in a blue pale sky
And I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
My feelings are black but my memories are white
And I'm alive, I'm alive, I'm alive
