Speckled Bird
Screamin' at the newsman,
Tellin' him to take it back.
I'll sue him if he won't retract.
Cryin' to the hangman,
Beggin' him to render slack.
If I could I would go back.
Will you extend me,
Will you extend me grace.
Just a little grace.
Will you extend me,
Will you extend me grace.
Just a little grace.
Were you talkin' to the shrubbery
Did you cut the roses down
Someone oughta till that ground
You thought I had a pure heart, well
I thought you were an angel, girl
Mercy is the silver pearl
Will you extend me
Will you extend me grace
Just a little grace...
My mother deems me ever dear
I'm less a liar than sincere
You don't have to turn that knife
I'll suffer in the after life
Prayin' to the Father
Sorry, did I grieve the Ghost
You're the one I love the most
repeat chorus
