Crow

I think of you much more than I would like to admit that I do before strangers But there you are Whispering through the trees again Rustling trough the leaves my friend A feather on my pillow lets me know that you're near Verse 2 I remember the night that you arrived December maybe '95 Your hair and your breath smelled of John Player Specials A stranger who I learned to love A friend when really no one was My Daedalus, my wings to fly Why'd you leave me behind Chorus My beautiful crow And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul Won't let me, let you go Verse 3 I never really thanked you for all the light You brought into my mother's eyes So many others tried Her sadness since the day you left She will not get out of bed She stares out the window, smokes a black pack of JPS Verse 4 I was out on St. Paul's when I heard about your fall Walking with Caroline, she burns smokes from time to time I walked home alone that night I could feel you when I closed my eyes I looked up into the night and watched black feathers fall from the sky Pre-Chorus I think of you much more than I'm allowed to admit But I do, I still do Chorus My beautiful crow And all those black feathers perched deep in my soul Won't let me, let you go Bridge I have tried to push you down I have tried to cut you out You're rattling your cage I'm rattling my cage I have tried to drown you out Drink till I don't hear the sound The song's still the same The song's still the same Chorus My beautiful crow, and all those black feathers Perched deep in my soul Won't let me, let you go
