Blackbird Lyrics

So many things I'd like to say

Kind of hard to put them into words

Never knew it could feel this way

To care for someone who's not yours

Little blackbird, fly away

From this vulture and his clouds

Little blackbird, won't you stay

And we'll pretend we're good somehow

Open up your wounded wings

We'll put your feathers back in place

One by one, day by day

Because nothing's sweet as your embrace

And when the sun shines on your face

All my troubles melt away

Because your smile is worth my pain

Something I cannot explain

Little blackbird, fly away

From this vulture and his clouds

Little blackbird, won't you stay?

This noise in me is just too loud

And if there ever was a god

If I ever was to pray

My only thought would be to save

My baby blackbird from this rain

And shelter her from all the pain

And not to dare to break her flight

Or take her to paradise

Because I'd rather burn in flames

Than to dress in black in shame

Holding your fragile shape

So tender I hope I won't break

But inside such strength and grace

I hope you'll be aware of one day

My biggest pain, what makes me cry

Is not having you by my side

Not a day, not a night goes by

Without hoping I'd see you fly
