Blackbird


Blackbird, blackbird, please fly away
You've been flying overhead
You've been darkening my day
And now you've got your shiny gold ring
But I feel you watching my moves
I see you waiting in the wings

And when I leave this town
And when you know I'm not around
I feel it in my every bone
You are trying to get him all alone

Oh blackbird, blackbird, this town is small
I see your feathers dropping like hints
You don't want me around at all
And when I go out with my friends for a flare
I see your beady black eyes
I feel your uninviting stare
Stare
Stare
Stare

And when I leave this town
And when you know I'm not around
I feel it in my every bone
You are trying to get him all alone

Oh but blackbird, blackbird, my love is true
And all the stars are aligned
It's such a captivating view
Blackbird, blackbird, please go away
I'm not gonna waste my time worrying what you're gonna say
