Lyrics
on the wings of a yellow bird in the darkest caverns of coal Virginia black dust shuffles off paper feathers in powdered configurations sing oh sing some song that rides behind black bars the notes will rise and fall on lifts to daylight sing oh sing some song that rides burning black bars in notes that rise and fall on lifts to daylight red rimmed eyes with blue inside black half moons are on the rise with every wave hello every wave hello, we're still alive hello, this is my life hello hello on the wings of a yellow bird in the darkest caverns of coal virginia
