[Verse 1]
  And I will stroll the merry way and jump the hedges first,
  and I will drink the clear clean water for to quench my thirst.
  And I shall watch the ferry-boats and they'll get high
  on a blue ocean, against tomorrow's sky.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain,
  and I will never grow so old again.
 
[Chorus]
  Oh,   sweet thing,        sweet thing,
my, my, my, my, my sweet thing.
 
[Verse 2]
  And I shall drive my chariot down your streets and cry:
  "Hey, it's me! I'm dynamite and I don't know why".
  And you shall take me warm in your arms again
  and I will not   remember that I ever felt the pain.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain,
  and I will never grow so old again.
 
[Chorus]
  Oh,   sweet thing,        sweet thing,
my, my, my, my, my sweet thing.
 
[Verse 3]
  And I will raise my hand 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.
 
[Pre-Chorus]
  And I will walk and talk in gardens all wet with rain,
  and I will never grow so old again.
 

         Sugar-baby with your champagne eyes and your saint-like smile....
 
[Outro 1]
Blackbird singing in the dead of night,
blackbird singing in the dead of night.
Take this broken wing   and learn to fly,
  all your life   you were just waiting for this moment to arrive.
 
[Interlude]
 
[Outro 2]
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.
 
[Outro 3]
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.
