The Blackbird Lyrics

Suddenly a sound a movement on ground

A blackbird hunts for food in fallen leaves

A worm, a seed last for a while

Watch that apple there. I think it was meant just for you

In twilight time just before the darkness

You will find a place to linger

A treetop perch among leafless branches

That's where you will sing so lovely

Autumn is here now and birds want to fly

Way south to where the days are bright and warm

But you will stay. You take the risk

Freezing winter nights with not a lot for you to eat

In twilight time just before the darkness

You will find a place to linger

A treetop perch among leafless branches

That's where you will sing so lovely

You know this for sure. There will be a spring

Your song will then resound at night once more

We hear you call – come be my friend

Then we know it will not be too long until the spring

In early spring in the night we hear you

Soft at first a touch of sadness

Then loud and proud with your skill and power

You give us a hope for springtime

In early spring in the night we hear you

Soft at first a touch of sadness

Then loud and proud with your skill and power

You give us a hope for springtime
