After The Blackbird Sings
Written by Jakob Dylan
I'm finding it hard
Just to keep up with someone
Who's hangin' onto nothin'
Only to lose what's never mine
And I'm finding it hard
Just to keep up with something
That's hangin' on to nothin'
To keep all these chains tied up and in line, in line
Pretty angel
She bites the hands of the lion
Ties it up with ribbon
Watches as hound dogs
Bang on her drums, drums
It's so, it's so easy for you to love nobody
It's so easy for you, 'cause you're not tryin' anymore
I seen this girl
She had her hands full of lightning
She rolled it down to me
A Lolita smile
With a thorn in her eyes
Now she, she spun the world
Up on the edge of a pearl
A carnival's girl
Up on a ferris wheel forever, forever
It's so easy for you to love nobody
It's so easy for you, 'cause you're not tryin' anymore
Just don't try anymore
Now she, she howled like an owl
Only to fall like a sparrow
And lay beside the scarecrow
But after the blackbird sings
Is the song, the song
It's just so easy
It's just so easy for you to love nobody
It's just so easy for you, 'cause you're not tryin' anymore
