Blackbird - Rainer Maria

I wake up sweating

Under the weight of my plans

I once made a bargain

Now I’m seeing it through to the end

What’s written on the water

What’s written in the wind

These words will last a lifetime

'Cause some things just won’t end

What I am is what I always was

Even pawns can take the queen

What I am is what I always was

Now it’s coming back to me

I’m back inside the shoebox

And it’s only yesterday

The face that’s in the mirror

Wants to fall in love again

What I am (what am I?) is what I always was

Even pawns can take the queen

What I am (what am I?) is what I always was

Now it’s coming back to me

Don’t stop now

Can’t walk away

The wait is over

Blackbird getaway

Blackbird getaway

Blackbird getaway

Don’t stop now

Can’t walk away

The wait is over

Blackbird getaway

Blackbird getaway

Blackbird getaway

Blackbird getaway

Blackbird getaway

I once made a bargain

Now I’m seeing it through to the end
