It's a lonely old world
Sometimes it takes all your strength
to raise up your hand
and wipe all the tears away..
that fall on your chest
and you realise you're on your own
there's only your blood,
blood won't let you down,
blood won't let you down,
blood won't let you down,
blood won't let you down...

From up here on a branch
catch all our summer rays
fall on winter days
lay us to rest,
from up here on a branch
catch all our summer rays
fall on winter days
lay us to rest,
lay us to rest,
lay us to rest,

And if you're out there now
i'm singing this blackbird song
hoping that you'll come home
where i said i would be...
We might be alone
alone in this dark old world
blood would be as one,
our blood wont let us down,
blood won't let us down,
blood won't let us down,
blood won't let us down...

and we catch our breath,
catch all our summer rays
fall on winter days
lay us to rest
and i am singing
i'm singing this blackbird song
hoping that you''ll come home
come home to me,
i'm singing for you...
