One Blackbird, Two Songs

The next Nina Simone page is  here.

Why you wanna fly Blackbird
you ain't ever gonna fly
No place big enough
for holding all the tears
you're gonna cry

Cause your mama's name was "Lonely"
and your daddy's name was "Pain"

And they call you little sorrow
cause you'll never love again

So why you wanna fly Blackbird
you ain't ever gonna fly

You ain't got no one to hold

you you ain't got no one to care
If you'd only understand dear
nobody wants you anywhere

So why you wanna fly Blackbird
you ain't ever gonna fly
Nina Simone
1966

The next Beatles' page is  there.   

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these broken wings and learn to fly

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to arise.

Blackbird singing in the dead of night

Take these sunken eyes and learn to see

All your life

You were only waiting for this moment to be free.

Blackbird fly Blackbird fly

Into the light of the dark black night.

Beatles
1968
