Blackbird, why you wearing that frown? |
|
Don't you know |
|
Jesus loves you and me |
|
And the preacher on |
|
TV you're putting down? |
|
Blackbird, how |
|
I love to hear your songs |
|
But I could spend all of my time in the shade |
|
Of the trees and listen all day long |
|
Oh yeah, I could listen all day long |
|
But you're ever hearing, never understanding |
|
Ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart has grown callous |
|
You're in a storm and lost your 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 or was it me? |
|
Well I guess it don't matter anyway |
|
No no, it don't matter, no, not anyway |
|
But you're ever hearing, never understanding |
|
Ever seeing, not perceiving and your heart has grown callous |
|
You're in a storm and lost your way |
|
Won't you fly to heaven and be saved today? |
|
Oh yeah, blackbird yeah |
|
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 you candle |
|
But your love light doesn't shine |
|
You say you talk to angels |
|
Well I say it's such a lie |
|
Yes it is now, such a lie, lie, lie |
|
Oh 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? |
|
Oh yeah, blackbird yeah |
