Blackbird (Take 28) Lyrics

[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]
Black bird 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
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black, dark black, dark black night

[Outro; Spoken]
Do you wanna just keep a few that you think are worth it, y'know
See, if we're ever to reach it, I'll be able to tell you when I've just done it
I don't know, y'know
I should think- I should think so
Just needs forgetting about it (yeah)
Now it's a decision which voice to use, y'know
I think it's better quieter (I do, too)

How to Format Lyrics:

  • Type out all lyrics, even repeating song parts like the chorus
  • Lyrics should be broken down into individual lines
  • Use section headers above different song parts like [Verse], [Chorus], etc.
  • Use italics (<i>lyric</i>) and bold (<b>lyric</b>) to distinguish between different vocalists in the same song part
  • If you don’t understand a lyric, use [?]
