Blackbird On The Wire

[00:10.84] (Heaton/Rotheray)
[00:26.19] Eyes to take you dancing
[00:30.49] Mouth to leave your wife
[00:34.93] Legs to run away with
[00:38.70] And you wonder why?
[00:43.66] Heart that makes you bypass
[00:47.79] Every other girl
[00:52.07] Smile that keeps you grinning
[00:55.89] At the madness of this world
[01:00.04] But like the blackbird on the wire
[01:04.80] I will not take prey on you
[01:09.82] You wouldn't want me to
[01:12.90] For I'm too soft for such a thing
[01:17.31] And like the blackbird on the wire
[01:22.22] I just watch you by
[01:26.90] The tears I knew I'd cry
[01:30.33] Fall unnoticed down below
[01:43.95] Front to make you happy
[01:48.20] Back to make you weep
[01:52.52] Lips to keep you kissing
[01:56.52] Whilst everyone's asleep
[02:00.95] Tears to break a backbone
[02:05.42] Laughs to win a war
[02:09.66] And people come and ask me
[02:14.00] What I love you for
[02:17.89] But like the blackbird on the wire
[02:22.75] I will not take prey on you
[02:27.58] You wouldn't want me to
[02:30.69] For I'm too soft for such a thing
[02:35.25] And like the blackbird on the wire
[02:40.04] I just watch you by
[02:44.84] The tears I knew I'd cry
[02:47.94] Fall unnoticed down below
[03:01.24] And with a tongue built from quicksilver
[03:05.38] And a character of steel
[03:10.14] They actually come and ask me
[03:13.41] How I feel
[03:53.27] But like the blackbird on the wire
[03:57.92] I will not take prey on you
[04:02.72] You wouldn't want me to
[04:05.74] For I'm too soft for such a thing
[04:10.16] And like the blackbird on the wire
[04:14.97] I just watch you by
[04:19.79] The tears I knew I'd cry
[04:23.09] Fall unnoticed down below
[04:27.82]
