Kevin Morby - Beautiful Strangers lyrics

If you ever hear that thunder, put
Your eye to the sky, boy, and wonder
Maybe there's a kingdom above the weather
Oh, and whether you're gonna get on
In is up to you

If you ever hear that crying in
The distance like some siren
Maybe there's a singer with no
Ring around their little finger, no love
And If I lose my voice
If I have no choice but to go quiet
Won't you sing for me a
Melody into the night there
Well, if I die too young
If the wolf he comes fee-fi-fo-fum
If I die too young, oh, if the locust come
Well then, run, run, run free

If you ever hear that gunshot
You may think 'bout what you
Do but you don't got
Say a prayer, think of mother, I am a rock

If you ever hear that sound now
If the door gets kicked in here
They come now
Think of others, be their cover
I am what they're not

Pray for Paris they cannot scare us
Or stop the music
You got a sweet voice, child
Why don't you use it?
If I die too young, if the gunmen come
I'm full of love
So release me, every piece of me, up above
(Up above)

Love my mama and my papa love my sister
Can't stand the coppers up in their choppers
Oh, flying overhead, forty-nine dead
Singing, oh, my Lord, come carry me home
Oh, my Lord, come carry me home
I'm singing oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my God, oh, my Lord
Oh, my God, oh, my Lord oh, my Lord

And if I die too young
For something I ain't done
Carry my name every day oh, I'm sorry
Oh, I'm sorry freddie Gray
But sleep easy like baby Jesus in a manger
Oh, sleep easy like little Jesus
Beautiful stranger oh, beautiful stranger

If I die too young
Let all that I've done be remembered
And I'll sleep easy like baby
Jesus in his manger
And I'll sleep easy like little Jesus
Safe from danger
Carry onward like some songbird
Beautiful stranger
Carry onward like some songbird
Beautiful stranger oh, beautiful stranger
