Bye Bye Blackbird - Blitz Kids

Together we’ll outlast the crossing of our stars,

We will lie in pieces and we will count the shards.

The night will bring a shade that shadows all our scars,

Together we’ll outlast the crossing of our stars,

We will lie in pieces and we will count the shards.

The night will bring a shade that shadows all our scars,

Together we will make this puzzle ours.

Bye bye blackbird, stand as I stood,

And always remember you’re my little crook.

Honey I could drown in those eyes.

Darling, I know where you’re coming from,

And I only care where you’re going.

That doesn’t matter to people around here,

We’re leaving them all behind.

You ask me, «Baby, oh where will we go?»

I answer, «Wherever we want.»

I’ve got to ask you one favour,

When my body breaks, carry on.

Bye bye blackbird, stand as I stood,

And always remember you’re my little crook.

Honey I could drown in those eyes.

My heart was the tire that you were swinging from,

The rope was on fire before you tied it on.

I’d wait in the water for you to help me swim,

I’d wait until morning just to hear you sing.

I’d wait in the cemetery if it meant I Was dead on the outside, not the inside.

They finally caught me, I never thought they could,

Bye bye blackbird, stand as I stood.

Bye bye blackbird, stand as I stood,

And always remember you’re my little crook.

Honey I could drown in those eyes.

Honey I could drown in those eyes.

Together we’ll outlast the crossing of our stars,

We will lie in pieces and we will count the shards.

The night will bring a dim that shadows all our scars,

Together we will make this puzzle ours.
