BLACKBIRD SINGING IN THE DEAD OF NIGHT…
Okay, so he ain’t singing in the night. This lone male Brewer’s Blackbird (Euphagus cyanocephalus) was not even with his “keg” (the collective name for a group of Blackbirds). Anyhow I could hear Paul McCartney singing and it did make me realize that I was only waiting for this moment to arrive.
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Learn to fly with broken wings on your journey††††nada te turbe††††jim
This is beautiful, great contrast! And now this song will be in my head for the rest of the day! 🙂
Hey, I have been humming it for weeks. Glad you picked it up, maybe I can stop carrying it around now……en theos…..jim
