Lyrics
Blackbird flies across that sky
And that blue water ripples in her eyes
And she stares out over at the setting sun
I know she's thinking about the days to come
My mother now she's ninety one
Always been a fighter now her fight is gone
A sailor who fought against those stormy seas
Through to clam waters and an easy breeze
There's a time line we all face
Its a matter of war its a matter of grace
Turning leaves up against a blue sky
Peering through a thinning veil to the other side
To the other side
I can't pretend to know how it feels
To let go of that steering wheel
And I wonder if she feels like she's fading away
Like that sunset that she sees today
There's a time line we all face
Its a matter of war its a matter of grace
Turning leaves up against a blue sky
Peering through a thinning veil to
I wish I had the power to hold back time
Don't want to see her fly
To the other side
To the other side
