Lament of a Blackbird

I was just reading the news today
When I heard sad cries near a bay
It was a blackbird perched alone
Sighing, making deeply sad tones

Oh, no
Oh, no
This is the saddest thing I know
My love is gone, he wailed and wailed
The cat had caught her by her tail

I stood there with the news I read
Terror, fear and many dead
And listened to the sad blackbird
Who so wanted his sorrow heard

Oh, no
Oh, no
My precious love why must you go
Summer has only just begun
For us and our little ones

I left the bird's sad cantata
To attend to my agenda
And I could still hear his lament
Imagined I could hold his hand

Oh, no
Oh, no
This is the saddest song I know
Blackbird will you find love again
I sense your loss
I feel your pain
