Little darling  
The smiles returning to the faces  
Little darling  
It seems like years since it’s been here

Here comes the sun  
Here comes the sun, and I say  
It’s all right

Morning has broken, like the first morning.  
Blackbird has spoken, like the first bird.  
Praise for the singing, praise for the morning,  
Praise for them springing fresh from the Word.

Blackbird flying in the sky  
Please don’t look me in the eye  
You are very very lucky  
It’s never easy to find me  
The winter’s coming now you’ve grown  
The cold will numb you to the bone  
It cuts you through so that you know  
In pain the minutes go so slow

I understand you’ve been running from the man  
That goes by the name of the Sandman  
He flies the sky like an eagle in the eye  
Of a hurricane that’s abandoned

Looking at you  
I can read your mind

Up here in space,  
I’m looking down on you.  
My lasers trace  
Everything you do.

You think you’ve private lives?  
THink nothing of the kind!  
There is no true escape-  
I’m watching all the time.  
I’m made of metal, my circuits gleam.  
I am perpetual, I keep the country clean!

I’m elected, electric spy.  
I’m protected, Electric Eye!

I’m waiting here  
To disappear  
Have you ever been so tired of yourself  
And i’ll meet you here  
In the Troposphere  
Lately I just haven’t been myself.

Awake to find you gone, emptiness is where you lay  
I just had to smile for all the things you’ll never hear me say  
Oh, I know, I could never get that near  
What do you expect me to do, disappear?

Take another little piece of my heart now, baby!  
Break another little bit of my heart now, darling,  
Have another little piece of my heart now, baby,  
You know you got it if it makes you feel good.

If I give my heart to you  
Will you handle it with care?  
Will you always treat me tenderly  
And in every way be fair?

I had a woman who gave me her soul  
But I wasn’t ready to take it.  
Her heart was so fragile and heavy to hold,  
And I was afraid I might break it.

I’m a-thinkin’ and a-wonderin’, walkin’ down the road  
I once loved a woman, a child I’m told  
I gave her my heart but she wanted my soul  
But don’t think twice, it’s all right.

Two hours of pushing broom  
Buys an 8 by 12 four-bit room  
He’s a man of means by no means  
King of the road.

So you are the Christ, you’re the great Jesus Christ.  
Prove to me that you’re devine: Change my water into wine.  
If you do that for me, then I’ll let you go free.  
C’mon, King of the Jews.

Jesus just left Chicago and he’s bound for New Orleans.  
Well now, Jesus just left Chicago and he’s bound for New Orleans.  
Working from one end to the other, and all points in between.

Took a jump through Mississippi, muddy water turned to wine.  
Took a jump through Mississippi, muddy water turned to wine.  
Then out to California, through the forests and the pines.
