There's quiet resignation in the corners of your eyes A bleak and brutal sadness nobody could contrive No ocean deep discussion could unravel or unwind There's freedom to your movement when the music hits its stride So delicately cadenced, self evidently right No cluster of sweet melody could dampen or outshine In a rush of blood I threw it all away Oh lord what was I thinking of that day The blackbird at your window Singing blue into the day By the time you'd turned to listen Sang up and flew away No love song of devotion However delicately played could pretend to replace In a rush of blood I threw it all away Oh lord what was I thinking of that day It lingered long upon my lips Then up and flew away Singing up a blue blue day Singing up a blue blue day She up and flew away
