Blackbird Fly Away

Like a broken basketball
on a dirty backyard court,
I was unable to roll away but I have air now.

Up this ladder, I keep climbing
trying to reach a little farther,
dig my hands into the water,
breaking up the storm.

(and there she goes)

Blackbird, fly away
into the hollow sky.
Blackbird, take me with you
'cause I can't fly.

I'll hold on tightly
(but I can't fly)

Looking up , I reach out,
stealing falling feathers
as they tumble to the ground.

It's strange how they
work so well for you
while slowing me down.

(Blackbird, I envy you)

(repeat chorus)

I could leave here on my own
if my heart was not so heavy
maybe you can teach me
how to swim in the sky.

(repeat chorus excessively)
