Blackbird / A Quiet Thing

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to be free

Black bird fly

Black bird fly

Into the light

Of the dark black night

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment

You were only waiting for this moment

You were only waiting for this moment to

Arise

When it all comes true

Just the way you'd planned

It's funny

But the bells don't ring

It's a quiet thing

When you hold the world

In your trembling hand

You'd think you'd hear

A choir sing

It's a quiet thing

There are no exploding fireworks

Where's the roaring of the crowds

Maybe it's the strange new atmosphere

Way up here among the clouds

And I don't hear the drums

And I don't hear the band

The sounds I'm told

Such moments bring

Happiness comes in on tip-toe

Well what'd'ya know

It's a quiet thing

A very quiet thing
