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 (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 home
How it hurts still there when she comes to show
She's always near (she's always near... she's always near...)
Down the black brick road
How it hurts still there when she comes to show
She's always near (she's always near...)
Down the black brick road
How it hurts still there when she comes to show
She's always near (she's always near...)
