Blackbird Sorrow Lyrics by Joshua James

My Spirit Sister

2017

I think my baby's coming home
I think we're gonna shake this dark cloud hanging
There ain't no woman in the world that can hold my heart like her
And though I feel a bit strange
About her giving up her love to another
I will take it as a sign to give up mine to her
I'm waving bye bye to the bitter sunset
And I'm taking a good look at the woman that I could have lost
I'm waving bye bye to my blackbird sorrow
Because painted on my chest is the letter of my cheating girl
Hey now, that's the world
I heard a memory can fade
That you can doctor out your pain from the center
But I ain't no surgeon of the chest, I'll do my best to cure
And if I wander off slow
Down in the valley of the darkest depression
I hope you'll bid me adieu cause I've got secrets too
I'm waving bye bye to the bitter sunset
And I'm taking a good look at the woman that I could have lost
I'm waving bye bye to my blackbird sorrow
Because painted on my chest is the letter of my cheating girl
Hey now, that's the world
Hey now, that's the world
Hey now, that's the world
I'm waving bye bye to the bitter sunset
And I'm taking a good look at the woman that I could have lost
I'm waving bye bye to my blackbird sorrow
Because painted on my chest is the letter of my cheating girl
Hey now, that's the world
Hey now, that's the world
Hey now, that's the world
Hey now, that's the world
