EN
Ooke up alone on the forest floor Over my cold skin, my shadow frozen Oh brother, my head's so full of holes again Oh brother, my head is not my own Then I hear the barley bird, singing soft Laughing at the blackened night Saying, 'Sun gonna come, gonna chase your worries Out from your rosy eyes' Calls me from the darkness And I feel like springtime There's flowers falling in my hair Sing me some blue skies Say you'll light my way, my barley bird But I'm alone as the moment fades My eyes are open, my vision stolen Oh mother, I know I'm dreaming wide awake Oh mother, I've found no sleep for days I'm on my way I'm on my way now
