LETTER FROM A BLACKBIRD
Sometimes I think that if I got lost
And drowned out in the river
No one in this town would cry
They'd just breathe sighs of relief
These days I sure regret
How much of me that I have given
I feel my patience running out
I hear the water sing to me
Blackbird
What did you think you'd run into
Out here in the wild?
You sing a sad song
But no one feels for you
They think you do it for the smiles
They'll send you flowers when you die
I can change course if I want to
Find a softer place to run to
I have struggled all my life
I'm fucking tired of heavy living
It is time to build a refuge
It is time to get what's mine
Blackbird (blackbird)
What did you think you'd run into
Out here in the wild?
You sing a sad song (sad song)
But no one feels for you
They think you do it for the smiles (blackbird)
They'll send you flowers when you die
And drowned out in the river
No one in this town would cry
They'd just breathe sighs of relief
These days I sure regret
How much of me that I have given
I feel my patience running out
I hear the water sing to me
Blackbird
What did you think you'd run into
Out here in the wild?
You sing a sad song
But no one feels for you
They think you do it for the smiles
They'll send you flowers when you die
I can change course if I want to
Find a softer place to run to
I have struggled all my life
I'm fucking tired of heavy living
It is time to build a refuge
It is time to get what's mine
Blackbird (blackbird)
What did you think you'd run into
Out here in the wild?
You sing a sad song (sad song)
But no one feels for you
They think you do it for the smiles (blackbird)
They'll send you flowers when you die
