[00:00.00]Blackbird and the Magpie - Al Lewis
[00:18.30]I'm a restless bird and I'm
[00:20.96]
[00:21.93]Just trying to catch my flight
[00:24.65]
[00:27.18]But it seems these wings are always
[00:31.11]Buckling from all of my weight
[00:33.50]
[00:36.04]And no matter how I try
[00:39.09]
[00:39.86]I just can't get myself back home
[00:43.60]
[00:46.95]So I'm hoping I'm never alone
[00:51.86]
[00:53.92]'Cause I'd rather be the blackbird
[00:58.01]
[00:59.04]Than have to be the magpie
[01:02.03]
[01:03.45]'Cause the blackbird is singing the song
[01:06.55]
[01:07.81]When the magpie never knows where he belongs
[01:14.03]
[01:17.96]What's the use in flying now
[01:21.18]When all we do is keeping falling down
[01:24.38]
[01:26.19]There is something to be said for trying
[01:29.36]
[01:30.27]Even if we never get a flew ground
[01:33.88]
[01:35.91]And no matter how I try
[01:38.83]
[01:39.59]I just can't get off soling ground
[01:43.35]
[01:46.74]So I'm hoping someday I will find
[01:50.20]
[01:51.28]'Cause I'd rather be the blackbird
[01:54.69]
[01:56.42]Than have to be the magpie

[02:03.84]
[02:05.26]Than have to be the magpie
[02:08.34]
[02:09.63]'Cause the blackbird is singing the song
[02:12.60]
[02:14.01]When the magpie never knows where he belongs
[02:19.44]
[02:23.09]What does he care if he's never loved
[02:26.90]
[02:27.53]The magpie's heart is made of hardest stuff
[02:31.47]Yeah why should he care if he's never loved
[02:35.54]
[02:36.46]The magpie's heart is made of hardest stuff
[02:40.17]Yeah why should he care if he's never loved
[02:44.62]
[02:45.26]The magpie's heart is made of hardest stuff
[02:50.95]
[02:51.64]Than this oh than this
[02:57.62]

[03:01.72]
