Blackbird

Alter Bridge

12

The willow, it weeps today

A breeze from the distance is calling your name

Unfurl your black wings and waitAcross the horizon, it′s coming to sweep you away

It's coming to sweep you away

Let the wind carry you home

Blackbird, fly away

May you never be broken again

The fragile cannot endure

The wrecked and the jaded, a place so impure

The static of this cruel world

Cause some birds to fly long before they′ve seen their day

Long before they've seen their day

Let the wind carry you home

Blackbird, fly away

May you never be broken again

Beyond the suffering you've known

I hope you find your way

May you never be broken again

Ascend, may you find no resistance

Know that you made such a difference

And all you leave behind will live to the end

The cycle of suffering goes on

But the memories of you stay strong

Someday I too will fly and find you again

Let the wind carry you home

Blackbird, fly away

May you never be broken again

Beyond the suffering you′ve known

I hope you find your way

May you never be broken again

May you never be broken again
