Birds beneath my window dustying their wings upon the lawn
I hear them in the morning light giving last amen to a migratory song
They're never looking round for meâ??their eyes are on the sky or the ground below

But I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know
Hello blackbird hello starling
Winter's over be my darling

It's been a long time coming
But now the snow is gone
You were beautiful when I first saw your feathers and confectionery airs

Like the earth it up and promised you the stars but you really didn't care
I sang in exultation pulled the stopsâ??you always looked a little bored
But I'm singing for the love of itâ??have mercy on the man who sings to be adored

Hello blackbird hello starling
Winter's over be my darling
It's been a long time coming

But now the snow is gone
OOOOOOOOH!
I'm underneath your window nowâ??it's long after the birds have gone to roost

And I'm not sure if I'm singing for the love of it or for the love of you
But I've flown a long way honey hear my confession then I'll go
I'd rather be the one who loves than to be loved and never even know

Hello brown one hello blue one
Last night's feathers exchanged for new ones
Hello blackbird hello starling

Winter's over be my darling
It's been a long time coming
But now the snow is gone
