O Behold - Kevin Morby

O behold the hole in my soul

Cannot be filled and it cannot be sewn up

And o behold the hole in my heart

Devil will come for us, try to tear us apart

And o behold the hole in my tale

I tried to tell, but I guess I failed

And o behold the hole in the sky

Where’s the baby bluebird go when she dies?

Where’s the baby bird go when she dies?

Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders

Quick, mama, look up, your baby has grown up

Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders

Quick, mama, look up, your baby’s gotten older

Beautiful mama, beautiful boy, beautiful girl

Beautiful earth, you were here first

Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders

Quick, papa, look up, there’s a ship in the mist and it’s getting closer

(Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders)

This is it, know I love you

If the plane’s on fire, know I love you

Regardless of my fate, know I love her

(Horns from my head, wings from my shoulders)

O behold the hole in my soul

Cannot be filled and it cannot be sewn up

And o behold the hole in my veil

Lights coming through the trees

I’m down on my knees

And o behold the hole in my guitar

I’m safe with you in my arms

And o behold the hole in the sky

Where’s the baby bluebird go when she dies?

No chain to the sky, does she fly above the weather?
