Lyrics for: Blackbird

(Back to Lyrics Menu)

Mmmmm {repeat 3 times}

 

Another blackbird on the wing
Too young to fly
Too poor to sing

 

Walking where the shadows form
I saw a girl in beggars shawl
A story drawn from anywhere
Of burdens far too hard to bear
Like miracles in borrowed chains
Imprisoned through a thousand days
So many things are left undone
Beneath the ashes of the sun

 

{continued in next column....}

 

Another blackbird on the wing
Too young to fly
Too poor to sing 

 

Another blackbird on the wing
Too young to fly
Too poor to sing
{repeat above 3 lines x 1}
