I met a blackbird flying south tonight, I looked into her eyes tonight I saw her wings were getting tired, still looking for the light There is evil on the way, it will come with break of day I heard her say before she turned and flew away But for a moment there alone I could find my way back home How it hurts still there when she comes to show She's always near down the black brick road I watched her heading for the southern skies when she lost her wings and died But then I saw her flying higher when I looked into her eyes There is evil on the way, I heard the blackbird say It will reach us by the coming of the day But for a moment there alone I was heading back for home How it hurts still there when she comes to show She's always near down the black brick road
