blackbird - gordon bok lyrics

Loading...

blackbird, blackbird, flyin’ late
the 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 flyin’ free

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, i don’t want a bride
the blackbird knows it all

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 o’ h*ll
and still i’m on my way
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 goin’ 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 goin’ 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
