  • Warm as the sun
    You were the one who outshone me
    In the darkness, everyone went away
    You were the one who adored me

    And it's so hard to say goodbye to you
    So hard when I want to carry you everywhere, everywhere
    So I don't forget
    I'll carry you everywhere, everywhere
    So I don't forget

    But there's a blackbird singing
    How long have you been hiding?

    Lost in the rain
    You always prayed you would find a way
    We were watching old movies in
    Our little technicolor hideaway

    And on that soft screen
    The beautiful ladies were movie queens
    They'd glide on the floor singing melodies
    Melodies that I can't forget
    Oh, love's sweetest reverie
    Melodies that I can't forget

    But there's a blackbird singing
    How long have you been hiding?

    We've been through so much
    We've been through everything together
    We've been through so much
    We've been through everything together

    But there's a blackbird singing
    How long have you been hiding?
    How long have you been hiding? Writer/s: SARAH JOYCE
