Blackbirds

Blackbirds (乌鸦) - Jorn

We have been broken broken

Warm hearts are frozen frozen

With every teardrop there's a song

We are believers

When the world deceives us

Born to rise above the cries

After all I know that I must go

To the other side where the ghostwinds blow

Once a dreaming child now I'm a flaming man

Burning in the shadows

With my rock and roll band aah yeah yeah ooh

Just another old Monday

Coming down that same long highway

Me and the boys out forcing the storm again yeah

It's just the lifestyle that we cherish

So we can tower and embellish

Blackbirds flying on our wings of rock

I've seen the generations turning

So many bridges they were burning

All the scars and all the lies oh

Me and the blackbirds

Carry heavy load

Grinding memories of the secrets never told

We shook the grounds of our yesterdays

Pioneers of a golden age

Aah the blackbirds are coming

Still going strong yeah

From Tokyo to New York City

They dream of fame and fortune looking pretty

Desperate minds that let the heart go blind

On the boulevard of broken dreams

I'm a stranger running in between

From the clouds that rain us down

There's no escape from the undertow

But I won't go down with my head hung low

Will never let the spirit die

Music is my revelation

I wanna be your new sensation

Let the song be you and I

Blackbirds rising in the dead of night

We come alive with the neon lights

But me and the boys we can not stay

Restless hearts going our own way

All the stories I have told from the life that I unfold

So many places I have been

But sill a stranger deep within

Take the sun and shine on everyone

Be the light and guide inside the darkest hearts of night

And the wheel it keeps on spinning

From the end to the beginning

Life and death will never die

50 miles away from London town

Tower bridge and the royal crown

One more show and we're off to Paris

Blackbirds flying till the final vanish

When this movie is running out of breath

And there's no cinema playing in my head

You will remember my rock and roll

A blockbuster haunting in your soul

Aah Blackbird is coming still playing on yeah

Blackbirds are calling

We're still laying strong
