lyrics

Black Crow

Heat hazing hanging there a ghost above the road
Old school skeleton sitting there amonge the ironstones
Oo it’s hot
Gravel grinding as I walk along the fence toward the sun
Hot air smothering every breath is heating up inside my chest

And there against the glare there’s a shape and there’s a wing
There’s a beak and there’s a fluttering as the dry wind brings it in
Black crow falls

Bird friend lying there as I bend to look into his golden eye
I’ve heard it said before the heat can knock a big crow from the sky
If I pick him up there’s a chance that he might fly away
But there he stays quite still no struggle left
No struggle left today

The waxy wings and blue black chest and round red eye
The captive heart is beating fast I feel it all the while
I place him at the waters edge and he nearly drinks it dry
He hops and fluffs into the dam then bursts into the sky

When I was a kid I learned a few things
That I carry with me now
Out on a gravel road under the blazing sun
There are treasures to be found
There are creatures living side by side
All on equal ground
All on equal ground my friend
All on equal equal ground
