There's a blackbird on the bar
Picking cherries from a tin
There's a scream of daylight
Every time the door swings
Someone in
There's a gleaming copper pool of warm
Can wash away my sin
If I ask where I went wrong
I hear a thousand voices yell
The air itself will clamor
And the ground begin to swell
I never sleep in silence
But I mean to live to tell
So raise your glass
And your voice in song
Gonna drink me back to Eden
âfore too long
I rolled in with my misdeeds
My remorse my fear and doubt
Such a crowd we need a bouncer
Or the walls will buckle out
But redemption is upended
And comes singing through that spout
To drown these ghosts
And end their moan
Gonna drink me back to Eden
All alone
I know how you all look at me
I grow tired of what I can't be
I glow why doesn't someone see
I glow
When I get back to the garden
I'll be silent and serene
I will lay my ageless nakedness
Upon the whispering green
Ain't no snake gonna show me anything
I ain't already seen
So wave goodbye
And cry amen
Gonna drink me back to Eden
Once again
So wave goodbye
And cry amen
Gonna drink me back to Eden
Once again
