Blackbird Sitting

I am the blackbird sitting

on the branch . . . watching you

Peering into every aspect you do

Kaw . . . Kaw

and you . . ,

 

Late at night if I ever get out of here

I swear I will turn into a thunderstorm

And hurl my bolts of light at you

And pound you with my thunder

 

I am the blackbird . . . and I am still

watching you

Can you feel the unease of my stare

Kaw . . . Kaw . . .

now you are aware

 

He held a grudge forever more

Never could he release the hate and pain

Nothing nice again , just rain

He could never get out again

 

The blackbird and me . . . .

as the feathers flutter to the ground

Went both of us . . . around and around

Dagers drawn , guns blazing

 

Like I said it is late of night

Cursing and swearing my heart pounds

Mark on my bolts , holding thunder

I notch another line on the barrel of life

 

Blackbird ! Blackbird ! Blackbird be !

I am the blackbird sitting in your tree

Peering into the aspects that you might be

Kaw . . . Kaw . . .
