	Story Behind the Song i have loved this beatles song for thirty years; the new verses occurred to me a couple of years ago when I made a four-track version of it Lyrics blackbird singing in the dead of night take these broken wings and learn to fly all your life you were only waiting for this moment to arise you were only waiting for this moment to arise blackbird singing in the dead of night take these sunken eyes and learn to see all your life you were only waiting for this moment to be free you were only waiting for this moment to be free blackbird fly blackbird fly into the light of a dark black night blackbird singing in the dead of night take this broken heart and learn to feel all your life never has another moment ever been so real never has another moment ever been so real blackbird singing in the dead of night take this tortured flesh and learn to touch all your life never has another moment ever meant so much never has another moment ever meant so much blackbird fly blackbird fly into the light of a dark black night
