Bye Bye Blackbird
Winging Low: Unveiling 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 stories of misfortune or hardship from others
Pack up all my cares and woe, here I go, winging low
Packing away all worries and troubles, preparing to depart
Bye, bye, blackbird
Saying goodbye to the blackbird, symbolizing leaving behind difficulties
Where somebody waits for me
Anticipation of someone waiting for the singer
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Comparing the sweetness of sugar to the sweetness of the awaited person
Bye, bye, blackbird
Reiterating the farewell to the blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Reiteration of feeling unloved and misunderstood
Oh, what hard luck stories they all hand me
Continuing to hear stories of hardship from others
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Preparing for rest and signaling a late arrival at a destination
Blackbird, bye, bye
Repeating the goodbye to the blackbird
Bye, bye, blackbird
Repeating the farewell to the blackbird
Where somebody waits for me
Reiterating the anticipation of someone waiting
Sugar's sweet, so is she
Comparing the sweetness of sugar to the awaited person
Bye, bye, blackbird
Repeating the farewell to the blackbird
No one here can love or understand me
Reiteration of feeling unloved and misunderstood
Oh what hard luck stories they all hand me
Continuing to hear stories of hardship from others
Make my bed and light the light, I'll arrive late tonight
Repeating the preparation for rest and signaling a late arrival
Blackbird, bye, bye
Repeating the goodbye to the blackbird
