lyrics

It was my first reaction that I was on my own
I had no plans to guide me
seemed my baby bird had flown
I travelled through the night just to see your face
wound up in a graveyard miles from any place

Surely it must be a cloud, or the smoke from some old fire
I could see an apparition, from the grave stone rising higher

Watch her as she rises watch her as she rises

She had pitch black eyes, and a bottle of wine
She had pitch black eyes, and a bottle of wine

She had pitch black eyes, and a bottle of the reddest wine

It was my old man’s funeral, put that hat back on your head
For it was this thing that showed me, that my love was far from dead
So I made a small bouquet, laid it on the grave stone
On the fenceline I thought I saw a blue jay
I looked twice but he had flown

Watch him as he rises watch him as he rises

She had pitch black eyes, and a bottle of wine
She had pitch black eyes, and a bottle of wine
She had pitch black eyes, and a bottle of the reddest wine
