Looked out the window, there they were
A thousand blackbirds on the lawn
They came and went like red alerts
I blinked my eyes and they were gone

Fly away, far from this town
Where all these troubles weigh you down
Fly away beyond the wood
We would join you if we only could

Followed a path, away it led
Into the wood where the blackbirds flew
Past the barren garden beds
Where the marigolds once grew

There was a parliament of birds
Discussing tariffs in the trees
I tried to get my opinions heard
They paid no attention to me

Fly away, far from this town
Where all these troubles weigh you down
Fly away beyond the wood
We would join you if we only could

When everything is said and done
The birds will take to the skies
Fleeing from the farmer’s gun
The murmuration starts to rise

Fly away, far from this town
Where all these troubles weigh you down
Fly away beyond the wood
We would join you if we only could

Fly away, my blackbirds
Things ‘round here can only get much worse
Fly away into the blue
I’d give anything to go with you

Blackbirds
