Kevin Morby - Beautiful Strangers

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 our name is up to him

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 can not scare us Or stop the music Your sweet voice, child Why don't you use it?

If I die too young, or the gunmen come, I'm full of love So release me, every piece of me, up above (Up above, ooh ooh ooh)

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
