For years you’ve been my blackbird
You’ve always taken wing over me
But now I hear you screaming in your sleep
and I can’t tell what the hell it means
You say we’re growing fatter like the pigeons in the alley everyday
Annoying strangers at the bar with our desperate repartee
You say the winter’s full of poison and you’ve run out of reasons to stay
But if you load that gun or walk down that road
I swear I’ll open your grave and I will desecrate your bones
That ain’t no way to leave me here, so cold and alone
That’s a fucking way to leave me
You know I can’t live here alone
I know that we have tied some knots before
and I know I ain’t the one to lead you true
But like it or not, darling, you’re gonna heal
and I’m gonna stick around until you do
We’re get a hotel somewhere warmer and overtip the valets
Empty bottles O! Be Joyful and overflowed ashtrays
We’ll pull the poison from the winter, babe, and set it free
So don’t you whisper to me about how bleak it seems
or the length of rope it takes to reach the attic ceiling beams
You may be a lesser light to some but you shine like the sun to me
A lesser light to some but you’re the sun to me
So don’t you mention no names or the bursting of seams
or the length of rope it takes to reach the attic ceiling beams
You may be a lesser light to some but you shine just like the sun to me
A lesser light to some but you’re the sunlight to me
