Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first
Drink the clear, clean water for to quench my thirst
And I will watch the ferry boats and they'll get high
Against the blue ocean, against tomorrow's sky
[Verse 2]
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain
And never ever, ever, ever get so old again
Oh sweet thing, ay, ay, ay sweet thing
[Verse 3]
And I will drive my chariot down your streets and cry
"Hey, it's me! I'm dynamite and I don't know why"
And you will take me warm in your arms again
And I will not remember that I ever felt the pain
[Verse 4]
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain
And never ever, ever, ever, ever get so old again
[Verse 5]
Oh, sweet thing
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, sweet thing
My, my, my, my
[Verse 6]
I will raise my arm up into the night time sky
And count the stars there shining in your eyes
Just to dig it all an' not to wonder, that's just fine
And I'll be satisfied not to read in between the lines
[Verse 7]
And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain
And never ever, ever, ever, ever get so old again, no
[Verse 8]
Oh, sweet thing, sweet thing
Sugar baby, sugar baby, sugar baby
With the saint-like smile and a beautiful mind
And the champagne eyes
[Verse 9]
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take this broken wing, learn to fly
All your life you were only waiting for this moment to arrive
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take your sunken eyes, 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
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
