Select language to translate this lyric
Right before the harvest a blackbird sings
Look at them fools down there ainât got no wings
Storm is a coming rainâs about to fall
Ainât no shelter round here for these children at all
Scarecrow singing a song by Kevin Welch
Thunder is rumbling as if the devil himself did belch
Now the dirt is spattering turning into mud
Erasing all traces of broken bones and blood
All loose things end up being washed away
All loose things end up being washed away
All loose things end up being washed away
Roosters in the cornstalks pecking at grains
A peddler walks by says, âWhy am I cursed like Cain?
Iâm all lust and furies doomed to sell my wares
I think Iâd been better off not saying prayers
Old harlequins and pilgrims always will believe
Was their savoir on a cross died between two thieves
Ask them and theyâll tell you the son was sacrificed
To undo the sin of Eve that cost us paradise
A dying crap shooter with whiskey on his breath
Is betting inside numbers shootinâ dice with death
Says, âAll I ever roll is deuces treys and twelveâsâ
Blackbird says âThe gods canât save us from ourselvesâ
All loose things end up being washed away
