Give me traces of your lifeblood flowing in a loving cup And tell me I'm dream dream dream dreaming and I'll never wake up A keepsake in a dresser drawer from who-knows-where A symbol of your exegesis and a full-length mirror I'll never never never never never never refuse you I'll never never never never never never refuse you My blackbird chain, my blackbird chain My blackbird chain, my blackbird chain An SOS from an outpost there on a common air I could read you a brief account of a last frontier We could come to understand what's wrong as right as rain At rock bottom of a hollowed ground, we stake your claim I'll never never never never never never refuse you I'll never never never never never never refuse you A blackbird chain, blackbird chain A blackbird chain, a blackbird chain I'll never never never never never never refuse you I'll never never never never never never refuse you My blackbird chain, a blackbird chain A blackbird chain, a blackbird chain
