Crows - Allison Moorer

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
