Blackbird
A Girl And A Guitar Lyrics

Gonna be a fire come.
A forthcoming event will be intense and potentially destructive.

Gonna burn a wicked man's feet.
The wicked will receive punishment for his actions.

Hate and greed gonna bring down Babylon.
The negative emotions of hate and greed will cause the downfall of a powerful entity.

That blackbird, that blackbird he said.
The blackbird spoke.

The wind blows broken melodies,
The wind carries fragmented and incomplete tunes.

Into the feathers of a blackbird sitting on a branch beside of me.
The melodies enter the feathers of the blackbird by the artist's side.

He said you will never know, the troubles I have seen ,son.
The blackbird explains that the artist will never comprehend the blackbird's experiences.

And you should never go, the places I have been.
The artist should avoid the locations the blackbird has visited.

Lord don't you try to come with me.
The artist is warned not to follow the blackbird.

The superstitious cast their stones at me.
The ignorant and narrow-minded attack the blackbird.

Let them stare into the blackness,
Let them peer into the darkness, metaphorically or literally.

Self importance owns the evil it breeds.
Self-important individuals promote and propagate their own harmful actions.

And as the river flows,
While the river moves.

The stories that it's told, go
The anecdotal recollections continue.

Into the well below,
The tales go downward into a well.

For a blackbird to swallow.
The blackbird consumes these stories

Lord don't you cry I heard them weep,
Don't worry as the artist heard the cries of the pained parties.

Lord don't you cry I heard them weep.
Don't mourn as the singer has absorbed the sorrow of others.
