Blackbird

歌詞

Blackbird, Blackbird, flyin' late Grease in the pot and ash in the grate They barred the door and they shut the gate They got no place for me The bottle's empty and my head is sore I don't know where I've been before Bar your gate and shut your door The Blackbird's flying free (Instrumental) Where have I been to? I don't know Broken fiddle and crooked bow Holes in my boots and I'm walkin' slow As the last long shadows fall The boat I sailed, laid down in the tide The horse I stole, got lame and died I don't need a friend and I don't want a bride The Blackbird knows it all (Instrumental) What's this song the Blackbird hears? I sowed my days and I reaped my years A basket of sins and a bucket of tears And I can't come in to stay My life's a tale that I don't tell I did my worst and I did it well I never get to heaven, but I stayed out of hell And still I'm on my way (Instrumental) Where am I goin' to sleep tonight? I can't turn left, and I won't turn right Where the road goes on in the cold moonlight And the lonely Blackbird cries I'm going to sleep in a lonely bed With white and whiter linen spread A cold grey stone at my foot and head And pennies on my eyes I'm going to sleep in a lonely bed With white and whiter linen spread A cold grey stone at my foot and head And pennies on my eyes
