Paroles de Blackbird On The Wire

Eyes to take you dancing,
Mouth to leave your wife,
Legs to run away with
And you wonder why.

Heart that makes you bypass
Every other girl,
Smile that keeps you grinning
At the madness of this world

But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you
You wouldn't want me to,
For I'm too soft for such a thing

And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by.
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below.

Front to make you happy,
Back to make you weep,
Lips to keep you kissing
Whilst everyone's asleep

Tears to break a backbone, But like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you
You wouldn't want me to,
For I'm too soft for such a thing

And like the blackbird on the wire
I just watch you by.
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below.
Down Below...
down below...
down below...
