(Steve Miller)

Listen to the blackbird sadly sing

For you, for me

Look at all the pointless suffering

Humanity



I am dreaming of a garden

And I see the midnight flight

Of a blackbird, through my vision

To the light

To the light



She is standing in the doorway

With the love light in her eye

And she beckons me to journey

Through the night

Through the night



Listen to the blackbird sadly sing

For you, for me

Look at all the pointless suffering

Humanity



To the people, who are naked

As they breathe in amber haze

Wandering endlessly narcotic

Through the maze

Through the maze



To the leaders, who are timeless

As they flaunt their warlike ways

Flying endlessly o'er the wasteland

Seeking praise

Seeking praise



Listen to the blackbird sadly sing

For you, for me

Look at all the pointless suffering

Humanity
