Blackbird
By Paul McCartney
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these sunken eyes and learn to see
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to be free
Blackbird fly, blackbird fly
Into the light of the dark black night
Blackbird singing in the dead of night
Take these broken wings and learn to fly
All your life
You were only waiting for this moment to arise

Now we will have big, noisy heaters and dehumidifiers in that room at least through Sunday.

Instead we watched The Beatles: Eight Days a Week - The Touring Years, which was pretty great. Around Seattle Center on the Fourth of July, including a citizenship ceremony, a man walking a pig, and the Chartres labyrinth replica:
