Blackbird, blackbird, whither 'way
Don't come down this way in
Sleek sails of five and six
Hither here, two and three
Come forth and fly in
Through the broken glass
Onyx separations carve
In six wings lost to starve
May the host slight the royalty
Blackbird, blackbird, whither 'way
Don't come down this way with
Sacrificial dust from seven circling
Hither here, two and three
Come forth and fly in
Through shattered self
Onyx separations carve
In six wings to starve
May the way be paved
Blackbird, blackbird, will I?
In the serene sloughs, call
Out from the dusk, ten sails high?
Blackbird, blackbird
Come around, see my gift
And sing your song
