Beautiful South Blackbird On The Wire Lyrics

Blackbird On The Wire Lyrics

Eyes to take you dancing
mouth to leave your wife
Legs to run away
with
and you wonder why?
Heart that makes you bypass
every other
girl
Smile that keeps you grinning
at the madness of this world
But
like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you
You wouldn't
want me to
For I am too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on
the wire
I just watch you by
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed
down below
Front to make you happy
back to make you weep
Lips to keep
you kissing
whilst everyone's asleep
Tears to break a backbone
laughs
to win a war
And people come and ask me
what I love you for
But like
the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you
You wouldn't want
me to
For I am too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the
wire
I just watch you by
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down
below
And with a tongue built from quicksilver
and a character of
steel
They actually come and ask me
How I feel
But like the blackbird
on the wire
I will not take prey on you
You wouldn't want me to
For I
am too soft for such a thing
And like the blackbird on the wire
I just
watch you by
The tears I knew I'd cry
Fall unnoticed down below
