Blackbird

Life flies, so quickly away

As I sit and watch from an old window

Where I love to play

 

So fast, in your dreams you go

In the evening hours, by the old window

What do you want to know?

 

A child’s cry breaks the silent hours

The beginning of new life, at a new window

Where a new soul grows

 

Bright lights flash into your quiet dream

From distant stars, through the old window

Where their reflection screams

 

I sit by my own old heart

And dream it flies, out the old window

Landing safely into its own shadow

 

Love flies so fast away

On this frozen day, by the old window

Love warms my heart today

 

A blackbird cries, as it tries to fly

Where I see her try, by the old window

And I feel her cry

 

Weather beating wings falling open wide

A shivering heart eyes like an old window

In the frozen snow

 

I know she will have her day

As I watch her fly away thru the old window

Where we love to play
