Lyrics

Blackbird (Live)

[Verse 1]

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

[Verse 2]

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

[Chorus]

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night

[Verse 1]

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

[Chorus]

Blackbird fly, blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night

[Verse 2]

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

You were only waiting for this moment to be free

You were only waiting for this moment to be free
