Blackbird sitting on a telephone line singing something true
Doesn't need no rhyme or reason, she just suppose to


Schoolgirl, backpack, riding on an old bike - looks a lot like you
Can't erase you from my mind, no matter what I do
And I see you walking out my door


(Chorus)
When I said that I want you more than I wanted to breathe

And I love my life when I'm by your side I need to believe
When I said that I loved you more, while we were sitting in bed
Tell me why did you leave, was it me or something that I said

Was it something that I said

Gypsy, taxi, solo in the back seat, roll baby roll

Riding by the Empire State on the way to I don't know

Conversation as a revelation has got me looking back

Over every minute of every moment that we had
And I see you walking out my door


(Chorus)

I know there's no explaining it and that people come and go

But you are like a force of nature too deep to ever know
I can't help that I'm waiting and way too long's gone by
You can't blame me for asking why

Oh, why

(Chorus)


Blackbird sitting on a telephone line singing something true
Doesn't need no rhyme or reason, she just suppose to
