Lyrics

I got a big blackbird in my bedroom
He keeps on singing to me
He said: "You will not believe
The shit I have seen"
I said: "Well hey, blackbird
It is not everyday that you sing to me
So sit on my feet
And tell me something"
"Find yourself, child
And run away
In disguise made out of dreams that got
Divert along the way"
"My dreams are like summer
But yours are like spring
I sleep until sunrise"
Sing blackbird sing
"My dreams are like summer
Yours are like spring
I sleep until sunrise"
Sing blackbird sing
I said: "Well hey, black bird
If there's one thing that I can guarantee
It's that you are inside
My head now with me"
But the big blackbird said: "Listen child
Things aren't how they seem
There's darkness of light
But on the space in between
Find yourself, child
And run away
In disguise made out of dreams that got
Divert along the way
"My dreams are like summer
But yours are like spring
I sleep until sunrise"
Sing blackbird sing
"My dreams are like summer
Yours are like spring
I sleep until sunrise"
Sing blackbird sing
