lyrics

The Crow

Birds fly south and the leaves fall down
Upon the stolen autumn ground
The sun has gone and the crow flies in
To usher in the new born king
Upon the branch in the sullen sky
Like a statue way up high

But why should I leave my nest for you?
Cause I built it up strong
And it’s not for you

It’s wintertime that comes
And you won’t escape the call
Cause it won’t go away
So natural you can hear them say

Lie naked fields on a fertile land
That have shed their crops that were in demand
Now tunnel down and find your warmth
Before Jack Frost comes around
Jack Frost with his thorny crown,
Feeling like the king of the town

But why should I leave my nest for you?
Cause I built it up strong
And it’s not for you

It’s wintertime that comes
And you won’t escape the call
Cause it won’t go away
So natural you can hear him say
