Lila Mccann - Down Came A Blackbird Lyrics
(mark spiro/micheal smotherman)Down came a blackbirdSet on a fenceTalkin in riddlesMakin no senseCause shes goneYoure babys goneDown came a blackbirdPerched on poleTook out a mirrorAnd said, son, beholdCause shes goneYour babys goneGone like a dollar spent on a drinkHead hangin over the kitchen sinkGone like the wind through a cabin doorNever gonna blow that way no moreGone like the song of a mockingbirdLaughing at every little thing he heardGone like a dream in a puff of smokeShe aint comin back and it aint no jokeShes goneYoure babys goneDown came a blackbirdSet by the fireSaid the futures comin at you like a freight trainAnd youre walkin a wireCause shes goneYoure babys goneGone like a dollar spent on a drinkHead hangin over the kitchen sinkGone like a dream in a puff of smokeShe aint comin back and it aint no jokeShes goneYoure babys goneShe says she doesnt want a man who hangs around the houseWho doesnt say a word unless hes shootin off his mouthTheres got to be a better way to be a lovin wifeIf she stays here shell end up her waitress for lifeDown came a blackbirdSet on a fenceTalkin in riddlesAnd makin absolutely perfect senseCause shes goneYoure babys goneGone like a dollar spent on a drinkHead hangin over the kitchen sinkGone like the wind through a cabin doorNever gonna blow that way no moreGone like the song of a mockingbirdLaughing at every little thing he heardGone like a dream in a puff of smokeShe aint comin back and it aint no jokeShes goneYoure babys goneDown came a blackbirdDown came a blackbird
