Starlings - Randy Stonehill[00:00:03]

Em[00:00:35]

Riding with my family[00:00:37]

In the '58 Buick [00:00:38]

I can still recall how we'd drive[00:00:42]

Through the valley to[00:00:46]

My grandmother's house every[00:00:47]

Summer vacation when[00:00:50]

I was small [00:00:52]

And I'd gaze out the window[00:00:54]

At the farms and the orchards [00:00:57]

Counting the telephone[00:00:59]

Poles passing by [00:01:01]

And the sound of our motor[00:01:03]

Would frighten the starlings [00:01:05]

And they'd rise from the fields to fly [00:01:07]

My mother would grumble [00:01:14]

"Those birds are a curse;[00:01:17]

They're a thorn in the farmers' side "[00:01:19]

But I couldn't help feeling sad[00:01:24]

And inspired by their[00:01:26]

Desperate ballet in the sky [00:01:28]

Say a prayer for the starlings [00:01:36]

The hot dry wind beats[00:01:40]

Their ragged wings [00:01:41]

Have a thought for the starlings [00:01:45]

No one ever listens[00:01:49]

To the songs they sing [00:01:50]

Say a prayer for the starlings [00:01:53]

There's no welcome[00:01:58]

For them anywhere [00:01:59]

Leave some crumbs[00:02:03]

For the starlings [00:02:04]

They say that winter[00:02:07]

Will be cold this year [00:02:08]

She was sitting on a curb[00:02:28]

By the 7 Eleven; she asked[00:02:30]

If I had some spare change [00:02:34]

Her skin wore that leathered[00:02:38]

And wind-burned look [00:02:40]

And the light in her blue eyes[00:02:42]

Was wild and strange [00:02:44]

I sat down beside her[00:02:46]

And asked her her name [00:02:49]

She said "Pick one you like;[00:02:51]

I need something to eat "[00:02:53]

And her life made me think[00:02:55]

Of the dead leaves in autumn[00:02:57]

Drifting like ghosts down the street [00:03:00]

Is the life that we celebrate[00:03:06]

Only a dream a lie that[00:03:09]

We serve like a god made of stone [00:03:12]

And our hearts are the hunter [00:03:15]

Birds with no nesting place [00:03:18]

Weary and aching for home [00:03:20]

Say a prayer for the starlings [00:03:28]

The hot dry wind beats[00:03:32]

Their ragged wings [00:03:34]

Have a thought for the starlings [00:03:37]

No one ever listens to[00:03:41]

The songs they sing [00:03:42]

Say a prayer for the starlings [00:03:45]

There's no welcome[00:03:50]

For them anywhere [00:03:51]

Leave some crumbs for the starlings [00:03:55]

They say that winter will[00:03:59]

Be cold this year this year[00:04:00]
