Tekst en muziek: Paul McCartney
(1994)
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Who knows how long I’ve loved you
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
You know I love you still
Will I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will
Oh, if I ever saw you
I didn’t catch your name
But it never really mattered
I will always feel the same
Oh oh ohoh, love you for ever and for ever
Love you with all my heart
Love you whenever we’re together
Love you when we’re apart
And when at last I’d find you
Your song would fill the air
Sing it loud so I can hear you
Make it easy to be near you
All the things you do and dear you
To be out you know I will
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark, black night
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Should I wait a lonely lifetime
If you want me to, I will
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Mm mm mm mmm mmm mm mm mmm mmm
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
