Starling

Little blackbird, little blackbird flying ‘round my head
Little blackbird it’s the things that he never said
Little black bird, little black bird, my hearts a heavy stone
And I have no more love to give, I have no home of my own
And here is the secret, death comes when its called
We beg it to take us, the lift and the fall
Little Starling, little starling I want to be free
Little starling don’t you leave without taking me
Little starling, little starling he’s locked me away
He’s told me I can sing my way out of this grave
And here is the secret we’re born in our dreams
And this waking and this living is not what it seems
Little blackbird, little blackbird flying round my head
Little blackbird it’s the things that he never said
Little black bird my hearts a heavy stone
And I have no more love to give, I have no home of my own
And here is the secret, death comes when its called
We beg it to take us, the lift and the fall
And here is the secret we’re born in our dreams
And this waking and this living is not what it seems
