lyrics

We had tomatoes on your birthday, they were the first ones of the season, and they ran down our chins
We had tomatoes on your birthday, they were the first ones of the season, and they ran down our chins
We had warm breeze on on shoulders, there was sunlight in the window, there was rain up in the sky
Sunlight in the window, we had warm breeze on our shoulders, there was rain up in the sky
Up in the sky
Up in the sky

The meadowlark was calling, we were walking to the graveyard, there was wine upon our lips
The meadowlark was calling, we were walking to the graveyard, there was wine upon our lips
Warm breeze on our shoulders, we had sunlight in the window, when you said "raise your eyes"
Warm breeze on our shoulders and the grass was getting taller, when you said "raise your eyes"
Raise your eyes
Raise your eyes
All will rise
All will rise

We had tomatoes on your birthday, they were the first ones of the season, and they ran down our chins
We had tomatoes on your birthday, they were the first ones of the season, and they ran down our chins
Warm breeze on our shoulders, there was sunlight in the window, we had rain up in the sky
Warm breeze on our shoulders, there was sunlight in the window, we had rain up in the sky
Up in the sky
Up in the sky
So raise your eyes
Raise your eyes
Raise your eyes
All will rise
All will rise
All will rise
