DESCRIPTION:
Eastbound mountain town
I will lay my burden down
Spread the ashes of my pain
Hear the echo of my name

Piece my patchwork heart
Into a work of art
Under the blue ridge sky
I watch the black bird fly

Hold life gently like a face between your hands
Lean into lonely knowing you will love again

Pack up all my care and woe
Here I go, singing low
Bye bye blackbird

Where somebody waits for me
Sugar's sweet, so is he
Bye bye blackbird

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye

No one here can love or understand me
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Make my bed and light the light
I'll arrive late tonight
Blackbird, bye bye

Eastbound mountain town
I will lay my burden down
Under the blue ridge sky
I watch the black bird fly away...
