Black birds and bullet holes
Scattered across the sky
I wander
These steep hills
Into the grey light
My fingers collapse around my pen
Like soldiers tryin' to hold up the flag
I'm callin' out, once again
In this letter to you my friend
In this letter to you my friend
In this letter to you my friend 

And don't tell me you been comin' up easy
Stop, drop, life is breezy
You used to say that you would come around
Oh baby, but you're never here 

You have been
Up above (so high, so high, so high)
And lived in the dirt
You have felt
Some love
And you
Have been hurt 

Well I've gone to shorten my road
With a fistful of matches, but nothin' to strike (nothin' to strike)
And as we walk along the road
You will know that this is right
You may think I'm crazy
You may think I'm foolish
But I'm coming through the lightening
Comin' back to you 

Don't tell me you been comin' up easy
Stop, drop, life is breezy
You used to say that you would come around
But you're never here 

You have been
Up above (so high, so high, so high)
And lived in the dirt
You have felt
Some love
And you
Have been hurt 

Oh, my, my, my, my, m,y my, my
I'm feelin' fine
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my
I'm comin' through
Oh my, my, my, my, my, my, my
Oh, my, my, my, oh, my 

You have been
Up above so high, so high, so high
And lived in the dirt
You have felt
Some love
And you
Have been hurt 

Oh, you have been, you have been
Up above, up above
And you've lived, and you've lived, in the dirt, in the dirt
Oh, you have felt, you have felt
Some love, oh some love
And you, you have
Been hurt
You have been up above
