Down Came a Blackbird — текст песни (Lila McCann)

(mark spiro/micheal smotherman)



Down came a blackbird

Set on a fence

Talkin in riddles

Makin no sense

Cause shes gone

Youre babys gone

Down came a blackbird

Perched on pole

Took out a mirror

And said, "son, behold"

Cause shes gone

Your babys gone



Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

Head hangin over the kitchen sink

Gone like the wind through a cabin door

Never gonna blow that way no more

Gone like the song of a mockingbird

Laughing at every little thing he heard

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke

She aint comin back and it aint no joke

Shes gone

Youre babys gone



Down came a blackbird

Set by the fire

Said "the futures comin at you like a freight train

And youre walkin a wire"

Cause shes gone

Youre babys gone



Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

Head hangin over the kitchen sink

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke

She aint comin back and it aint no joke

Shes gone

Youre babys gone



She says she doesnt want a man who hangs around the house

Who doesnt say a word unless hes shootin off his mouth

Theres got to be a better way to be a lovin wife

If she stays here shell end up her waitress for life



Down came a blackbird

Set on a fence

Talkin in riddles

And makin absolutely perfect sense

Cause shes gone

Youre babys gone



Gone like a dollar spent on a drink

Head hangin over the kitchen sink

Gone like the wind through a cabin door

Never gonna blow that way no more

Gone like the song of a mockingbird

Laughing at every little thing he heard

Gone like a dream in a puff of smoke

She aint comin back and it aint no joke

Shes gone

Youre babys gone



Down came a blackbird

Down came a blackbird
