Blackbirds Songtext
von Jorn

We have been broken
Warm hearts are frozen
With every teardrop there′s a song
We are believers
When the world deceives us
Born to rise above the cries

After all I know that I must go
To the other side where the ghostwinds blow
Once a dreaming child now I'm a flaming man
Burning in the shadows
With my rock and roll band, aah yeah, ooh

Just another old monday
Coming down that same long highway
Me and the boys out forcing the storm again yeah
It′s just the lifestyle that we cherish
So we can tower and embellish
Blackbirds flying on our wings of rock


I've seen the generations turning
So many bridges they were burning
All the scars and all the lies, oh

Me and the blackbirds
Carry heavy load
Grinding memories of the secrets never told
We shook the grounds of our yesterdays
Pioneers of a golden age
Aah the blackbirds are coming
Still going strong, yeah

From Tokyo to New York City
They dream of fame and fortune looking pretty
Desperate minds that let the heart go blind
On the boulevard of broken dreams
I'm a stranger running in between
From the clouds that rain us down

There′s no escape from the undertow
But I won′t go down with my head hung low
Will never let the spirit die
Music is my revelation
I wanna be your new sensation
Let the song be you and I


Blackbirds rising in the dead of night
We come alive with the neon lights
But me and the boys we can not stay
Restless hearts going our own way
All the stories I have told from the life that I unfold
So many places I have been
But sill a stranger deep within

Take the sun and shine on everyone
Be the light and guide inside the darkest hearts of night

And the wheel it keeps on spinning
From the end to beginning
Life and death will never die

50 miles away from London town
Tower bridge and the royal crown
One more show and we're off to Paris
Blackbirds flying till the final vanish
When this movie is running out of breath
And there′s no cinema playing in my head
You will remember my rock and roll
A blockbuster haunting in your soul
Aah. Blackbird is coming sill playing on, yeah
Blackbirds are calling
We're still laying strong
