There's a blackbird perched outside my window

He reads my soul

Soar on my wings

You'll touch the hand of God

And He'll make you king
Bb C Dm
And He'll make you king
Dm Bb
On a blanket made of woven shadows
F
Flew up to heaven
Am
On a raven's glide

These angels have turned my wings to wax now

I fell like Judas from grace tonight
{Pre-Chorus}

On that day that he lied to me

I walk among the children of my fathers
F Am
The broken wings, betrayal's cost

They call to me but never touch my heart, no

I am too far

But I'm too lost
{Pre-Chorus}

All I can hear is what he spoke to me

You made me hate, you made me burn

He laughed aloud as he flew from Eden

You always knew, you never learn

The crow no longer sings to me
