[Verse 1]
There's a blackbird singing on yonder hedge
It sings for you until you forget
Then he'll fly away
Come back another day

[Verse 2]
There's a blackbird singing on your window ledge
But dont you cry, dont you fret
He'll fly away
Come back another day

(Instrumental)

[Verse 3]
There's a blackbird sitting on your bedspread
His time will come, but not just yet
He'll fly away
Come back another day

[Verse 4]
There's a blackbird hovering above your head
Close your eyes, lay back and rest
He'll fly away
Come back another day
(Instrumental)

[Verse 5]
There's a blackbird sitting there upon your breast
He looks at you, you catch your breath
Today's the day he'll fly you away
Yeah today's the day, he'll fly you away

Yeah today's the day
He'll fly you away
