Everything is cool Everything's okay Why just before last Christmas My baby went away Across the sea to an island While the bridges brightly burn So far away from my land The valley of the unconcerned I was walking down the road, man Just looking at my shoes When God sent me an angel Just to chase away my blues I saw a hundred thousand blackbirds Just flying thru the sky And they seemed to form a teardrop From a black haired angel's eye That tear fell all around me And it washed my sins away Now everything is cool Everything's okay Everything is cool Everything's okay Why just before last Christmas My baby went away And I find it real surprising For myself to hear me say That everything is cool Everything's okay Everything is cool Everything's okay Why just before last Christmas My baby went away.
