Blackbirds Sleep

From this earth you depart,
Feel the sorrow in my heart,
Buried deep in the ground,
In earths roots your softly bound,
 
Forever safe and sound you'll be,
While buried here beneath this tree,
For future roots will wrap around,
You're safe to sleep beneath the ground,
 
A decision made that had to be,
Or suffer very badly thee,
Your wing was broken beyond repair,
Your pain no more I could not bare,
 
I could not let you suffer at night,
Its getting cold and dark outside,
To end your life was only right,
I had to send your soul a flight.
