Lyrics Blackbird - Alysari

Blackbird on the mile marker as we head on farther north
Blackbird says the air here won't be quite as warm
Me, I am an old story
This life is habit now
But the closer I get, the older I feel
And I miss the plains in the south

There's red spots on my shoulders from the baggage on my back
I step and I trek but it's the shedding I lack
It's all an old story
The load is just too much
And the closer I get, the tighter I hold, cause it's become my crutch

Oh that I had wings like a blackbird
That I might lift and fly on homeward
Heaven bound, heaven bound

Stockpile on the freeway and a sign for selling logs
An overwhelming vision that someone stopped the clock
But it's all an old story
Time will never pause
But the farther I go, the more that I grow
And the more I'm inclined to drop

It's been a million pieces all stitched to my design
I'm getting better still, I wish I was out of time
It's all an old story
I'm troubled and I'm tired
But the closer I get, the more I regret, cause my future has expired

Oh that I had wings like a blackbird
That I might lift and fly on homeward
Heaven bound, heaven bound
