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.
