A blackbird singing On a moss upholstered stone Bluebells swinging Shadows wildly blow A song in the wood A ship on the sea The song for you And the ship was for me A blackbird singing I hear in my troubled mind Bluebells swinging I see in a distant wind But sorrow and silence Are the wood's threnody The silence for you And the sorrow for me Oh the sorrow, the sorrow's for me And I have all I need This song for you And the memory for me A blackbird singing
