my little blackbird

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

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

Blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night.

Written by Paul McCartney


Oh the day we met, blackbird. It was love at first sight.
Nobody understands that feeling the way we do.
That you have a headache and I cry,
you smile and my world becomes bright again.
That your heart is happy when mine is full.

You have wished with your eyes closed
for my happiness, and I got it, and I am so grateful.

And today you have to leave again,
to uncharted territories,
to your love driven torquemada.

I wish with my eyes opened,
on my knees,
with my chest full of angst
and ugly memories
that I am wrong.

And nothing will be as I imagine,
and you’ll be happy and complete with him.

You are perfect blackbird, perfect, my love.
Don’t let anyone make you feel different.

Blackbird, fly.
And come back a beautiful woman.
