Crows Lyrics & Chords By Psalters

"...Deep into that darkness peering long I stood there, wondering, fearing,
Doubting, dreaming dreams no mortal ever dared dream before" - (E. A. Poe)

Black clouds gathering in the west
Messengers from the land of the dead
Climb up into that old crow's nest
Never ever more what the raven said

Who gives the raven his food
When his young cry out to God?
We're wandering for lack of hope
Calling out for change in the land of Nod

But they say it's safer, safer not to crow
Don't you ever prophesy, unless you know
(Oh- we'll never deny you, even if we have to die)

Noah sent the raven to see if the waters had dried
God fed Elijah with the same black bird
Omens of doom as the dark wings fly
And we all must repent after what we've heard.

Long crow's feet say my eyes are getting old
As the dead fall down on the side of the road
Hoarse throat calling out a warning so the world might know
But nobody ever listens to the song of the crow

Pay attention to the ravens
Watch how the wildflowers grow
Solomon in all his splendor
Was nothing compared to those, nothing compared to those

Oh--I'll never deny you
Even if I have to die
Yeah--we'll see what happens when the crow sounds three times
