i had shadowed the rose
threw it away.
i told you, my black bird, to sing me a song
sing for me, my black birds call.
and sometimes i wish i could sing along.
but now your on the balcony
fly my black bird, be that free
cause your love was never for me.
show her that kind of life,
she will watch you fly,
and maybe we will meet again,
start our love over my friend
and i will tell you, my black bird, to sing me a song
sing me that black birds call.
for the rose is what ive got
i know i must hold on
but ive forgot how to love
the smell of the rose
and in my dreams i long for the
black birds call.
so, my black bird, sing me a song.
the last song of this life.
i long for that touch, your kiss, but
you sit on that balcony
wings open wide
she will watch you fly.
and this is it
the last look
the last song
so my dear black bird, sing me a song
let me hear that black birds call
set me in stone, and give me my rose
i just froze, as you fly away
no more song.
go be free.
