Blackbird singing out my window, I missed you today I thought you had made your home here, but you've flown away In those early morns you'd sing so low and sweetly in my ear before you'd go
Blackbird oh, why must you fly, oh oh blackbird, oh oh blackbird Blackbird my windowsill's fine, oh oh blackbird, oh oh blackbird Up and away you've flown without goodbye Wish you'd see how I've grown all alone this time
Blackbird thought I'd love another, but why bother lying Mockingbirds can sing the same songs, but no point in trying Leave my window open every night Wonder where you've flown, what gets you by
Blackbird oh, why must you fly, oh oh blackbird, oh oh blackbird Blackbird my windowsill's fine, oh oh blackbird, oh oh blackbird Up and away you've flown without goodbye Wish you'd see how I've grown all alone this time
Think of those sweet melodies in my ear Nothing compares to the songs that I'd hear Are you alone, are you nesting with someone new Please, I beg, I plead, no other song will do
Blackbird oh, why must you fly, oh oh blackbird, oh oh blackbird Blackbird my windowsill's fine, oh oh blackbird, oh oh blackbird Blackbird oh, why must you fly, oh oh blackbird, oh oh blackbird Blackbird my windowsill's fine, oh oh blackbird, oh oh blackbird
Up and away you've flown without goodbye Wish you'd see how I've grown all alone this time Are you alone, are you nesting with someone new Please, I beg and I please, no other song will do Oh, blackbird
