Josh Ritter
Birds of the Meadow
[Verse 1]
I didn't come to ask you how you're doing these days
Didn't come to roll no stones away, no
I come to tell you that the end is nigh
I come to prophesy, yeah

[Verse 2]
You wanted a messenger and I be he
Your heebie-jeebie man in ecstasy
But my eyes are blazing and my mantle dark
You better hark

[Chorus]
Fire is coming, fire is coming
Birds of the meadow, birds of the meadow
Fire is coming, fire is coming
Birds of the meadow, birds of the meadow

[Verse 3]
Honey, I'm a wild one and I'm dressed in rags
I'll roll you over; turn your bad side out yeah
Before the whole thing's over you're gonna have to shout my name
I don't care if you believe me

[Chorus]
Fire is coming, fire is coming
Birds of the meadow, birds of the meadow
Fire is coming, fire is coming
Birds of the meadow, birds of the meadow
[Chorus]
Fire is coming, fire is coming
Birds of the meadow, birds of the meadow
Fire is coming, fire is coming
Birds of the meadow, birds of the meadow
