Like a broken basketball on a dirty backyard court, I was unable to roll away but I have air now.
Up this ladder, I keep climbing
trying to reach a little farther,
dig my hands into the water,
breaking up the storm.
(and there she goes)
[chorus]
Blackbird, fly away
into the hollow sky.
Blackbird, take me with you
'cause I can't fly.
I'll hold on tightly
(but I can't fly)
Looking up , I reach out,
stealing falling feathers
as they tumble to the ground.
It's strange how they
work so well for you
while slowing me down.
(blackbird, I envy you)
(repeat chorus)
I could leave here on my own
if my heart was not so heavy
maybe you can teach me
how to swim in the sky.
(repeat chorus excessively)

lovely song... im telling you, we need to produce one of these tracks...
I am so happy to listen again to this one. remembered the chorus and not help to hum along. Honoured by the dedicatory too. Hugs. Yes it feels it was so many years ago, and here we are, dreams fulfilled and others still awaiting.
Luv Luv your voice and that beautiful song
You are a true poet!
Uniqueness as always...
Cool stuff
