Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
No place big enough for holding
All the tears you're gonna cry
Cause your mama's name was "Lonely"
And your daddy's name was "Pain"
And they call you "Little Sorrow"
Cause you'll never love again
So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't got no one to hold you
You ain't got no one to care
If you'd only understand, dear
Nobody wants you anywhere
So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
Why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't got no one to hold you
You ain't got no one to care
So why you wanna fly, Blackbird?
You ain't ever gonna fly
You ain't ever gonna fly

It's Not That Easy

You say forget you,
find me somebody new.
It's not that easy,
when I placed all my faith in you.
I know that I...
love you only.
And as each day pass,
night finds me so lonely.
It's a hurting thing,
and it's so... un-sensed...
Too sad to watch,
watch a good love go by.
Oh I know...
I know that I always
think about you.
I've grown so used to you,
I just cannot...
make it without you
It's not that easy...
forgetting you.

Blue for the blue I feel when I'm feeling down
In the ground, feeling down
That could be most any day
Green for the eyes, take a look around
When the sun goes down
And the sun goes down in the strangest way
Red for the light, gotta stop this thing
Find a song to sing that is everything
That I meant to say
I meant to say
Green for the minds that are dry like the world
Never see the good that's done the bad
It's too late to see
Two of us make it easier
To read the signs, memorize the lines
Won't you stay with me?
One for the road, I'll be on my way
Come another day when the things we say
Find a way to be
A way to be
Autumn calls for a change of year
Bringing winter near, oh I scream "The ground
And the skies are fine"
Wintertime is a razor blade
That the devil made, it's the price we pay
For the summertime
Spring days come and it's hard to know
Where the rain comes from, where the children go
It's a nursery rhyme
A nursery rhyme

It'll Never Happen Again

I remember
Our first affair
All the pain
Always rain
Around my eyes
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again
Every time
I leave you alone
I remember times
I couldn't come home
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again
Why can't you be
The way
I want you to be
Why can't you see
You've got to change
And love me
I remember
Our first affair
All the pain
Always rain
Around my eyes
It'll never happen again
It'll never happen again

Beware The Stranger
04:13

She’s wanted
Dead or alive
Distinguishing features
She got cold and shifty eyes
She’ll lead you on
With her words so soft and sweet
She’ll rob you of your pride
and then sweep you off your feet
She’ll wine and dine you
You’re the one to have to pay
And you’ll never see her
When she makes her get away
So beware the stranger
Lurking in your town
Tall dark and handsome
Y’all beware
Your heart break down
She’s sweet and loving
And she’ll steal your breath away
She’s a tricky character
Like an actor in play
Embezzlement and murder
Oh these crimes are just a few
She’ll steal your heart away
Surely steal the love you knew

Lady Blackbird Los Angeles, California
