|
Blackbird, why you wearing that frown? |
|
Don't you know |
|
Jesus loves you and me and the preacher on |
|
T.V. you're putting down |
|
Blackbird, how |
|
I love to hear your songs |
|
I could spend all of my time in the shade of the trees and listen all day long [Chorus:] |
|
But you're ever hearing, never understanding |
|
Ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart has grown callous |
|
You're in a storm and lost you way |
|
Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today |
|
Blackbird, now you're broken your wing |
|
You try to fly high but you know that you can't go anywhere, you can't do anything |
|
Blackbird, who put you in your cage |
|
Tell me, was it |
|
God or was it you |
|
Was it me? |
|
I guess it don't matter anyway [Repeat chorus] [Bridge] |
|
You say you need a remedy for the thorn in your pride |
|
I think it's such a tragedy |
|
That you have left |
|
Him behind |
|
You say you'd light your candle |
|
But your love light doesn't shine |
|
You say you talk to angels |
|
Well I say it's such a lie [Repeat chorus] |
