Blackbird Chain

Lyrics: Beck Hansen
Music: Beck Hansen

Sung by Jason Crosby with Phil Lesh and Friends on 18 May 2014.

Give me traces of your lifeblood flowing in a loving cup
And tell me I'm dream dream dream dreaming and I'll never wake up
A keepsake in a dresser drawer from who knows where
A symbol of your exegesis and a full-length mirror

I'll never, never, never, never, never, never refuse you
I'll never, never, never, never, never, never refuse you
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain

An SOS from an outpost there on a common air
I could read you a brief account of a last frontier
We could come to understand what's wrong as right as rain
At rock bottom of a hollowed ground, we stake your claim

I'll never, never, never, never, never, never refuse you
I'll never, never, never, never, never, never refuse you
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain

I'll never, never, never, never, never, never refuse you
I'll never, never, never, never, never, never refuse you
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
My blackbird chain
