Blackbird Lyrics

Rachel Unthank & The Winterset Blackbird

I know why the blackbird sings A song so pure that comes from his heart He sings for his love who won't come back He sings because he is sad

He sings because he is glad He sings because he is free Free to love somebody else Now he has abandoned me

I know why my baby cries She cries for the love she'll never have The love that will take her far away So far she never comes back

Come back, come back, come back Come back, come back, come back Come back, come back, come back

We are just a break in the waves We are just a feather in the storm Windward or taken by the tide To places we call home

I know why the blackbird sings A song so pure that comes from his heart He sings for his love who won't come back He sings because he is sad
