A Blackbird Songtext
von The Departed

I′ve been down and I ain't going back again
Down to the well and I dropped my wishes in
I watched it fall and I finally fell
Asked for heaven but it′s just been hell
Soaked in sin and I ain't going back again

I've been down and I ain′t ever going back
Down to the bottom of the belly where the sun shines black
Darkness blinded everything
If I had one eye they woulda made me king
I′ve been down and I ain't ever going back


A blackbird gave me a warning
That was the first thing that I heard that morning
He said "Run, baby, run
Oh, the worst is still to come"
Just a voice

Up from the bottom, straight through the top
Sun is shining, it ain′t gonna stop
If there's anything I learned at all
Never again will I have to crawl
Up from the bottom, straight through the top

A blackbird gave me a warning
That was the first thing that I heard that morning
He said "Run, baby, run
Oh, the worst is still to come"

Hell, a blackbird gave me a warning
That was the first thing that I heard that morning
He said "The worst was still coming
If you′re gonna run babe, keep on running"
