Lay down my head turn the eyes up to heavenOh my soul! sing that song once againHow we turned back the dayStole the bride from the weddingShe was meant for a friend so she saidI saw blackberry birds in a blue pale skyAnd I’m alive. I’m alive. I’m aliveMy feelings are black but my memories are whiteAnd I’m alive. I’m alive. I’m aliveAnd so we had our black forest weddingCarved our names into the woodsShe held my hand and took all of my sorrowsAnd buried all my bad moodsI saw blackberry birds in a blue pale skyAnd I’m alive. I’m alive. I’m aliveMy feelings are black but my memories are whiteAnd I’m alive. I’m alive. I’m alive
