Crows

I close my eyes and I listen And try to get out of the way But when I look out the window I see his face Is it him that I hear laughing Taunting me making me blush Acting like he knows my secrets Why won't he hush The crow in the yard is trying to tell me something I see him out there trying to catch my eye He's not the magnificent raven He caws a much creepier caw So comfortable there in his murder Don't he know it all So why won't he just give me the message What's the worst news he could bring And I make a mess when I'm guessing About anything The crow in the yard is trying to tell me something I see him out there trying to catch my eye Black as the night he shines like a light on nothing Ain't no use in trying to hide Oh child Oh child Oh child I guess a crow in the yard Is better than bats in the belfry --- Crows - Allison Moorer
