about

This is a song about crows.

lyrics

On the bridge
With their wings folded tight
From the wind
Feathers black as night against
The blue blue sky
They wait and they watch
And listen

On the bridge
And every overpass I slip
Underneath
Withe their eyes casting down
Onto me
Oh

They're watching over me
They're watching over me

When the moon gets as full as
A beggar's cup
Crying please won't somebody
Just look up
I see them soaring above blotting
Out the stars
Already cold from the city

Just a speck then a cavalcade of dark
Silhouettes
A flock above me crying for the
Stars to weep their peace
Onto me

Chorus

And when I rest every particle of breath
Is a probability of what I could or couldn't be
And when your eyes each a phonograph inside
Set the whole of my soul crying to be free
I feel alive.
I feel alive

They're watching over me
