Bye Bye Blackbird - Keith Jarrett, Paul Motian, Gary Peacock

Blackbird, Blackbird

Singing the blues all day right outside my door

Blackbird, Blackbird

Why do you sit and say, «There's no sunshine in store»?

All through the winter you hung around

Now I begin to feel homeward bound

Blackbird, Blackbird

Gotta be on my way, where there’s sunshine galore

Pack up all my care and woe, here I go singing low

Bye bye Blackbird, where somebody waits for me

Sugar’s sweet, so is she

Bye bye Blackbird, no one here can love or understand me

Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me

Make my bed and light the light, I’ll arrive late tonight

Blackbird, bye bye

Blackbird, Blackbird

Calling me far away, I’ve been longing for you

Blackbird, Blackbird

What do I hear you say, «Skies are turning blue»?

I’m like a flower that’s fading here

Where every hour is one long tear

Bluebird, bluebird, this is my lucky day

Now my dreams will come true

Pack up all my care and woe, here I go singing low

Bye bye Blackbird, where somebody waits for me

Sugar’s sweet, so is she

Bye bye Blackbird, no one here can love or understand me

Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me

Make my bed and light the light, I’ll arrive late tonight

Blackbird, bye bye
