Lament Of A Blackbird

I was just reading the news today When I heard sad cries near a bay It was a blackbird perched alone Sighing, making deeply sad tones Oh, no Oh, no This is the saddest thing I know My love is gone, he wailed and wailed The cat had caught her by her tail I stood there with the news I read Terror, fear and many dead And listened to the sad blackbird Who so wanted his sorrow heard Oh, no Oh, no My precious love why must you go Summer has only just begun For us and our little ones I left the bird's sad cantata To attend to my agenda And I could still hear his lament Imagined I could hold his hand Oh, no Oh, no This is the saddest song I know Blackbird will you find love again I sense your loss I feel your pain
