02 Oct 10 - 05:48 PM (#2998323) Subject: Lyr Add: THE BLACKBIRD (Dave Webber) From: Jim Dixon My transcription from an audio file found at Yahoo! music: THE BLACKBIRD Dave Webber As I rose up at break of day All from beside my true love, I heard a blackbird sing its song As beautiful as new love. There's not a court in all the world Has heard a song so rich, And ne'er a song has e'er been sung That had such perfect pitch. As I walked one autumn morn Just as the sun was rising, And all the world with dew was hung And the trees like silver shining, There's not a court in all the world Has treasures fair as these, And ne'er a diamond shone so bright As sunlight through the trees. And later on this autumn day I saw a tree-fire burning. The leaves like flames of red and gold They set my heart a-yearning. And then I heard another song From deep within my heart, Awaiting just one touch of love Before it made its start. After love I ask of life Just one simple thing: Pray never let me see the time That does not let me sing. [From "Constant Lovers," 2006.] |
