Blackbird

words by Penny Cook/music by Rosemarie Austin
Sing me your song blackbird
Draw me in with every note
Wrap that feathered darkness round my eyes
Wrap that feathered darkness round my eyes
Let me listen to your voice
As you sing the sun to sleep
Her bright eye is closing already
Enchanted by your sweet melody
And the stars shine their silver faces
To hear your call
No breeze no clouds, only a fading sky
And silent earth and me
Consuming every trill that a blackbird will share
