Bye Bye Blackbird
Winging Low: Exploring the Bittersweet Tale of Bye Bye Blackbird
Lyrics
No one here can love or understand me
Feeling unloved and misunderstood by those around
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Receiving sympathetic but unfortunate tales from others
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging low
Deciding to leave behind worries and troubles, departing with a heavy heart
Bye, bye, blackbird
Bidding farewell to the symbol of despair and embracing change
Where somebody waits for me
Anticipating the presence of someone at a destination
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Comparing the sweetness of a loved one to sugar
Bye, bye, blackbird
Repeating the goodbye to the blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Reiterating the feeling of being unloved and misunderstood
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Continued encounters with unfortunate stories from others
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Preparing for a journey, expecting a late arrival
Blackbird, bye, bye
Repeating the goodbye to the blackbird
Bye, bye, blackbird
Reiteration of bidding farewell to the symbol of despair
Where somebody waits for me
Reaffirming the anticipation of meeting someone
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Emphasizing the sweetness of a loved one
Bye, bye, blackbird
Repeating the goodbye to the blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Reiterating the sentiment of feeling unloved and misunderstood
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Continued encounters with unfortunate stories from others
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Preparing for the journey with the expectation of arriving late
Blackbird, bye, bye
Final repetition of bidding farewell to the blackbird
