Journey from Eden

Steve Miller Band

Listen to the blackbird sadly sing 
For you, for me 
Look at all the pointless suffering 
Humanity 

I am dreaming of a garden 
And I see the midnight flight 
Of a blackbird, through my vision 
To the light 
To the light 

She is standing in the doorway 
With the love light in her eye 
And she beckons me to journey 
Through the night 
Through the night 

Listen to the blackbird sadly sing 
For you, for me 
Look at all the pointless suffering 
Humanity 

To the people, who are naked 
As they breathe in amber haze 
Wandering endlessly narcotic 
Through the maze 
Through the maze 

To the leaders, who are timeless 
As they flaunt their warlike ways 
Flying endlessly o'er the wasteland 
Seeking praise 
Seeking praise 

Listen to the blackbird sadly sing 
For you, for me 
Look at all the pointless suffering 
Humanity
