Get off of my roof, spread your wings and fly
Your kind belongs in the sky
I'm just a sparrow, you are a blackbird
It's your song that's the best I ever heard
My song was happy, now it's sad instead
It's the color of your feathers that looks so lonely against a sky of red
You're alone on the fencepost, it makes me sad to see
Your mood darkens the forest, you're alone like me
Ah, yeah, when I look up in the sky and watch you fly
Oh, what I wouldn't give to be there, to be there
It's all over, you're finished nesting
No more looking back
The leaves are falling, it's time for manifesting
The things that you lack
Look, there's a cat, imagine that
You better hurry and fly away before he turns you into a snack
You're alone on the fencepost, you're alone like me
Ah, yeah, when I look up in the sky and watch you fly
Oh, what I wouldn't give to be there, to be there
Don't let 'em tell you that you'll never be an eagle
Don't let 'em tell you that you'll always be small
'Cause I believe in you, blackbird
I believe that you will never fall
Get off of my roof, stop wasting your time
Go sit with your friends on the telephone line
They adore you just as much as I do
But they're not too happy about me seeing you
If you want this roof for yourself, then just say the word
'Cause you are a blackbird, and I'm just a sparrow
Ah, yeah, when I look up in the sky and watch you fly
Oh, what I wouldn't give to be there, to be there

Get off of my roof, spread your wings and fly
