Harley Eblen - Above the Blackbirds Lyrics

The Golden State was shining the day when she was born
The name Christina came to me, it gave this angel form
She grew into a woman, flowing hair and hazel eyes
But she was still my baby, as the years were running by

They tell me time is flowing, but I don't much like the water
And they tell me water heals, but I just want to hold my daughter
And they tell me take a breath, that she's up above the blackbirds
I just want to make things right, but baby rivers don't flow backwards

I told her get outside and see the water, there will be another show
But she still had sixty revolutions that she was meant to know
But the road it stopped her turning, twisted metal spinning wheels
Now I'm alone and left to wonder if there's any way to heal

They tell me time is flowing, but I don't much like the water
And they tell me water heals, but I just want to hold my daughter
And they tell me take a breath, that she's up above the blackbirds
I just want to make things right, but baby rivers don't flow backwards
I just want to hold you tight, but baby rivers don't flow backwards
