In the wee morning hours on NY day traveling home - I stopped at the 24hr market - it was closed- In the parking lot I saw hundreds of blackbirds huddled on the ground.... I shared the visual with Calvin and this is the song we wrote about it.

Any thoughts on production etc welcome - thanks in advance

ANOTHER BLACKBIRD NIGHT =====
© words and music by C. Stewart / Joice Marie ( Jan 6 - 2010 )

Clusters of Blackbirds
Dive From the skys
Camp out in snow
With icicle eyes

They quit their day jobs
Guarding graveyards
Search for morsels
Under frozen cars

This is how the fowl will survive
Waiting for spring to arrive

CHORUS.....
It's all they know, and it don't seem right
ANOTHER BLACKBIRD, sleepless night
It's all they know, and it don't seem right
ANOTHER BLACKBIRD, night

Now they cuddle up
Hope for the best
Side by side, let
Nature do the rest

This is how the fowl will survive
Waiting for spring to arrive

Repeat CHORUS of..... BLACKBIRD

J-bird dozes off
In her feather down
Hums a lullaby
Fills the empty sound

Cover filled goose down
Piled warm and high
Snug near the fire
Toes warm and dry

This is how a heart will survive
Waiting for love to arrive

CHORUS....
It's all she knows, and it don't seem right
ANOTHER J-BIRD, sleepless night
It's all she knows, and it don't seem right
ANOTHER J-BIRD, night

J is like the blackbird, wears a coat of hope

This is how we all will survive x 2

Repeat CHORUS of BLACKBIRD
