Blackbird's Refrain

Blackbird said
The sunshine’s golden
Couldn’t get no better
Sho nuff was
A long cold winter
Just when we
Couldn’t get no thinner

That kinda cold
Makes it hard to remember spring
This world is coming alive
To some strange times
We gotta bend and sway together

We find ourselves
Ground to heaven
Every soul here thrown together
But your feet and restless feathers
Land right where both your eyes travel

A nest little bird
Can’t be built on silt or sand
This world is coming alive
To some strange times
We gotta bend and sway together

How far can you go
When you’re just
Circling ‘round the same home?

The earth spins humming its song

The higher you get the more that you see
The higher you get the more that you see
The higher you get the more that you see

Night birds call
‘Crost the holler
Might as well let my mind follow
Stars they burn
Bright as nickels
And we fly on past each other

When morning comes
Earth and sky bathed in new light
This world is coming alive
To some strange times
We got to bend and sway together

How far can you go
When you’re just
Circling ‘round the same home?

The earth spins humming its song

The higher you get the more that you see
The higher you get the more that you see
The higher you get the more that you see
