lyrics

BLACKBIRD OF MISERY
You sit outside my window watching me crying
You wanna steal my heart, hide it under your dark wing
Well, I asked you first real nice
But I ain’t gonna ask you twice
No

I’m setting you free blackbird of misery
Fly away and don’t come back to stay
‘Cause I’ll be gone, blackbird I’m moving on

You blew in on a wind of trouble and sadness
You kept me company but you drove me to madness
You’re not welcome anymore
So take your shadow from my door
Yes

Chorus:

I won’t lie here listening to your old crow’s voice
So don’t call to me, I’ve made my choice

Chorus:
