SEVEN BIRDS song lyrics/Words by Joel Sattler
Seven birds sit on a wire
Seven worms squirm in a cage
One by one they meet and captured
Boiled in a stew of onion rain
Surprise a bird and they'll be others
Waiting in the wings for days
A wedding is a ring by numbers
Steady steady don't you rage
Whisper all the time why doncha
Never see another page
Close your head I think you're tired
Thank you buddy just the same
Eagles wailing in the mountains
Where the sage incense the wind
Smelling fire five coyotes
Sing a dirge and sing again
When the simplest bird the crow
Can no longer bear suspense
Hear him calling out in wonder
Seven birds sit on a fence

SEVEN BIRDS song lyrics 2nd version
by Joel Sattler
thought I saw seven birds
as the sky was turning red
thought I saw seven birds
in the morning so I said
thought I saw seven birds
sailing on the wing
thought I saw seven birds
thought I heard them sing
Seven birds sit on a wire
Seven worms squirm in a cage
One by one they meet and captured
Boiled in a stew of onion rain
Surprise a bird and they'll be others
Waiting in the wings for days
A wedding is a ring by numbers
Steady steady don't you rage
thought I saw seven birds
as the sky was turning red
thought I saw seven birds
in the morning so I said
thought I saw seven birds
sailing on the wing
thought I saw seven birds
thought I heard them sing
Whisper all the time why doncha
Never see another page
Close your head I think you're tired
Thank you buddy just the same
Eagles wailing in the mountains
Where the sage incense the wind
Smelling fire five coyotes
Sing a dirge and sing again
thought I saw seven birds
as the sky was turning red
thought I saw seven birds
in the morning so I said
thought I saw seven birds
sailing on the wing
thought I saw seven birds
thought I heard them sing
When the simplest bird the crow
Can no longer bear suspense
Hear him calling out in wonder
Seven birds sit on a fence
thought I saw seven birds
as the sky was turning red
thought I saw seven birds
in the morning so I said
thought I saw seven birds
sailing on the wing
thought I saw seven birds
thought I heard them sing
