R.E.M.
Blackbirds (Half a World Away Demo)
[Verse 1]
This could be the saddest dusk I've ever seen
Turn to a miracle, high-alive
My mind is racing, as it always will
I'm half a world away
My hurricane, my shoes are gone
[Chorus]
My head sworn to go it alone and hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Hold it alone and go it alone
And hold
[Verse 2]
[?] to the rain
The corner of, corner of a sea
Alone and calm
My shoes are gone
I'd had too much to drink
I didn't think and I didn't think of you
I guess that's all I needed
[Chorus]
To hold it alone and go it alone
And haul it along and hold it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
And hold
[Verse 3]
[?] on the sea
The corner of, corner of alone
The sea, the calming bedtime tea
The storm it came up strong
It shook the trees and blew away our fear
I couldn't even hear
[Chorus]
Hear to go it along, hold it along
Hold it along and haul it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
And hold
Go it alone, hold it along
Haul it along and hold it
Blackbirds, backwards, forwards and fall
And hold
[Outro]
Oh, this may be the saddest dusk I've ever seen
Turn to a miracle, high-alive
My mind is racing, as it always will
I'm half a world away
Oh, oh oh oh
