Nightflight

A sweet blackbird sings in the evening night
they tell her blackbird don't sing so high 
A sweet blackbird flies in the evening night
they tell her blackbird don't fly so high 
A sweet blackbird chirps, enjoying the morning light 
they tell her blackbird to turn out your light
A sweet blackbird flies alone at night 
she says to them "I am alright"
