Verse:
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
Chorus:
And like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you,
You wouldn't want me to
For I'm 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.
(as verse)
And with a tongue built from quick silver
And a character of steel
They actually come and ask me how I feel
interlude: verse chords once then chorus chords once
(as chorus)
And like the blackbird on the wire
I will not take prey on you,
You wouldn't want me to
For I'm 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,
down below,
down below,
down below.
