Sometimes I wanna die
So I can be with you again
Sometimes I wonder why
This blackbird is my only friend
And I'm telling my troubles to this bird by my window
It seems to know just what I say
Sometimes I wish I could become a blackbird
I'd spread my wings and fly away
Sometimes I wanna cry
'Cause I can't leave this all behind
Sometimes I wonder why
This blackbird brings you to my mind
And I'm telling my troubles to this bird by my window
It seems to know just what I say
Sometimes I wish I could become a blackbird
I'd spread my wings and fly away
Sometimes I wanna fly
So I could meet you in the air
And I would love you in the sky
And we could live forever there
And I'm telling my troubles to this bird by my window
It seems to know just what I say
Sometimes I wish I could become a blackbird
I'd spread my wings and fly away
