[Verse 1]
What could change the winter’s course
What could temper the fall
What did you notice when the dawn turned to dust
The hour turned one and all
[Verse 2]
Will you shelter away from the storm
Will you hide out from the wind
Will you take your sweet, sweet rest
Returning with stories on your wings
[Verse 3]
In a thousand furnished rooms
A wilderness of mirrors
How can we recognize ourselves
Through the windows
If we can’t see through the screen’s glare
[Verse 4]
Did you look when the flood left the edge?
Did you hear the warning?
Did you see the strange green light
Over the city this morning?
[Verse 5]
Blackbird, blackbird will you call
Blackbird, blackbird will you come
Sing us over with your scorched lament
You were watching over all along
