Lyrics
Sometimes I think that if I got lost and drowned out in the river
No one in this town would cry
They'd just breathe sighs of relief
These days I sure regret
How much of me that I have given
I feel my patience running out
I hear the water sing to me
Blackbird
What did you think you'd run into out here in the wild?
You sing a sad song
But no one feels for you
They think you do it for the smiles
They'll send you flowers when you die
I can change course if I want to
Find a softer place to run to
I've struggled all my life
I'm ****ing tired of heavy living
It is time to build a refuge
It is time to get what's mine
Blackbird
What did you think you'd run into out here in the wild?
You sing a sad song
But no one feels for you
They think you do it for the smiles
They'll send you flowers when you die
No one in this town would cry
They'd just breathe sighs of relief
These days I sure regret
How much of me that I have given
I feel my patience running out
I hear the water sing to me
Blackbird
What did you think you'd run into out here in the wild?
You sing a sad song
But no one feels for you
They think you do it for the smiles
They'll send you flowers when you die
I can change course if I want to
Find a softer place to run to
I've struggled all my life
I'm ****ing tired of heavy living
It is time to build a refuge
It is time to get what's mine
Blackbird
What did you think you'd run into out here in the wild?
You sing a sad song
But no one feels for you
They think you do it for the smiles
They'll send you flowers when you die
