Blackbird
Alter Bridge · Live From Amsterdam [2011]
The willow it weeps today
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon it's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
LET THE WIND CARRY YOU HOME
BLACKBIRD FLY AWAY
MAY YOU NEVER BE BROKEN AGAIN
The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the and jaded a place so impure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
LET THE WIND CARRY YOU HOME
BLACKBIRD FLY AWAY
MAY YOU NEVER BE BROKEN AGAIN
BEYOND THE SUFFERING YOU'VE KNOWN
I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR WAY
MAY YOU NEVER BE BROKEN AGAIN
Ascend may you find no resistance
Know that you've made such a difference
All you leave behind will live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But the memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly and find you again
(CHORUS)
A breeze from the distance is calling your name
Unfurl your black wings and wait
Across the horizon it's coming to sweep you away
It's coming to sweep you away
LET THE WIND CARRY YOU HOME
BLACKBIRD FLY AWAY
MAY YOU NEVER BE BROKEN AGAIN
The fragile cannot endure
The wrecked and the and jaded a place so impure
The static of this cruel world
Cause some birds to fly long before they've seen their day
Long before they've seen their day
LET THE WIND CARRY YOU HOME
BLACKBIRD FLY AWAY
MAY YOU NEVER BE BROKEN AGAIN
BEYOND THE SUFFERING YOU'VE KNOWN
I HOPE YOU FIND YOUR WAY
MAY YOU NEVER BE BROKEN AGAIN
Ascend may you find no resistance
Know that you've made such a difference
All you leave behind will live to the end
The cycle of suffering goes on
But the memories of you stay strong
Someday I too will fly and find you again
(CHORUS)
