Crow
Dan Fogelberg · Triple Feature [2009]
I heard your song, crow, for the first time
Somewhere in the distance wicked, black and low
Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime
Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime
Some say, "She died of drownin' in the river deep"
Some say, "She died of a sudden start"
Some say, "They found her swingin' from my old man's tree"
And some folks say, "She died of a broken heart"
And some folks say, "She died of a broken heart"
I can't believe they would pay men just to hunt me down
But silver coins to each one do they give
And by now there's a gallows standin' in the town
And I wonder how much more I have to live
And I wonder how much more I have to live
Oh somewhere on a lonely muddy country road
I heard your song crow, for the last time
Somewhere in the distance wicked, black and low
Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime
Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime
Made me feel as I was runnin' from a crime
