Redwing Blackbird

Heard a little bird in the treetop singing Heard a little bird in the treetop singing Heard a little bird in the treetop singing It was a redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird A redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird Coming to my window when I couldn’t sing, he sang to me Don’t you know if there’s a way to hurt, I’ll find it Been hanging on a love that was unrequited Started from the heart, but I got misguided Going home is hard when you’re uninvited Living in a cage ain’t so bad ‘til you wanna be free It was a redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird A redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird Coming to my window when I couldn’t sing, he sang to me It was a redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird A redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird Coming to my window when I couldn’t sing, he sang to me Tell me how am I gonna sing when my heart is breaking Oh how am I gonna sing when my heart is breaking I’m afraid to be alone, but I can’t give in No, I never wanna be in your arms again Love should never feel like a cage, it should be the wind It was a redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird A redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird Coming to my window when I couldn’t sing, he sang to me It was a redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird A redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird Coming to my window when I couldn’t sing, he sang to me I wish that I was sitting on my branch in the tree of life Far above this swamp of lies I’m gonna rise and sing, taking wing against the stormy sky I wish that I was sitting on my branch in the tree of life Far above this swamp of lies I’m gonna rise and sing, taking wing against the stormy sky I’m gonna fly Fly far away from here Wishing he could stay but the season’s changing Until I learn to fly, I know he’s out there waiting I can hear the song coming through my dreams Now every day I wake workin’ on my wings And every time I think I won’t make it, I can hear him sing It was a redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird A redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird Coming to my window when I couldn’t sing, he sang to me It was a redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird A redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird Coming to my window when I couldn’t sing, he sang to me It was a redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird A redwing blackbird, a redwing blackbird Coming to my window when I couldn’t sing, he sang to me
