I've been standing in the shadows
And I've been walking in the rain
I've been waiting for an answer, yeah, yeah
You keep fooling me again

Oh, but you know, the hourglass is empty
When the blackbird sings

Ooh, you know you put me through some bad, bad times
Be it wrong or be it right
And though I've cried myself an ocean, yeah, yeah
The tears have given me my sight

Oh, and you know, the hourglass is empty
When the blackbird sings
You'll know, your time is done
When the blackbird sings, when she sings

Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh

Oh, you'll know your time is done
When the blackbird sings, yeah

Huh!
Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh

When she sings

Ah-ah-ah
Ah-ah-ah-ah-ah

Oh, the hourglass is empty
Oh, the hourglass is empty
Oh, the hourglass is empty
Oh, the hourglass is empty
The hourglass is empty
Na-na, na-na, na-na

When the blackbird sings
Na, na-na, na-na
When the blackbird sings, yeah!
Oh, when she sings
