Blackbird

He put the coffee in the cup and with milk he filled it up He added sugar and I never knew he liked it like that He took his coat from the hook and his scarf and his hat And he put down the key and said I won't be needing that And he turned and smiled as if that explained it all And he walked down the hall and he opened the door and said Of course I'll call Heart why do I bring you love When all you give me back is pain Heart why do we search it out To watch you wash your hands and walk away Now there's a black black black bird in my chest All a flutter and all caged in Wanting to break free with the wolves in my head Who tear at every wise thing I should have said Heart why do I bring you love When all you give me back is pain Heart why do we search it out To watch you wash your hands and walk away We're not the strangers we were when we first met But the kind of strangers at the end And all that remains is a day without plans Where I won't be missed another handful of sand Heart why do I bring you love When all you give me back is pain Heart why do we search it out To watch you wash your hands and walk away Heart why do I bring you love When all you give me back is pain Heart why do we search it out To watch you wash your hands and walk away
