Lyrics

MURDER OF CROWS

VERSE 1
Some people wish for things. They wish for long black wings
They would soar high as they could fly
No matter what goes round, they'll put you in the ground
While they float in the air and fly

CHORUS
It's time to go. Watch the sky and don't walk slow
Don't need more foes. Watch out for a murder of crows

VERSE 2
When it's cold, see one's breath -- it's like a touch of death
Warm air will rise, up in the sky
The warmth feels like fire, pulsing through the wire
The choice is fly, so you must try

CHORUS

VERSE 3
Some people wish bad things on a pair of black wings
A black eye spies from the sky
Whatever it is worth, they can see down to earth
They said that man would never fly

CHORUS

VERSE 4
Black feather floats on air -- it could land anywhere
May be a sign, something will die
I'll have to wait and see, I hope it isn't me
I'll try to float on air and fly

CHORUS
