Black Crow Medicine Lyrics
Well late last night I heard a rappin’ on my window pane
It was a black crow medicine bird hangin’ from the telephone line
And it wailed and boiled out against the wind
On a cold road gutter side where the rain flows toward its grave
There was a sun stained leaf on the edge of an eddy and dream
And it drifted so easy like it was all it ever had to do
There was a crowd in my dream last night full of faces I had never known
Some in rags and some in robes all in a stubborn state of scorn
As the walls they tightened nobody got up to go
As I waited for the morning not sure what I was gonna do
I had a mind to make for a better time head down the road to some place new
When I felt upon my shoulder that black crow medicine bird
There was a woman in my dream last night and I’m sure I’d known her before
She held in one hand a photograph as she came to me out on the bower
And she took from me my oar like it was all I ever had to do
It was a black crow medicine bird hangin’ from the telephone line
And it wailed and boiled out against the wind
There was a sun stained leaf on the edge of an eddy and dream
And it drifted so easy like it was all it ever had to do
Some in rags and some in robes all in a stubborn state of scorn
As the walls they tightened nobody got up to go
I had a mind to make for a better time head down the road to some place new
When I felt upon my shoulder that black crow medicine bird
She held in one hand a photograph as she came to me out on the bower
And she took from me my oar like it was all I ever had to do
