Mount Eerie - Crow lyrics
[Mount Eerie - Crow lyrics]
Sweet kid
What is this world we're giving you?
Smoldering and fascist with no mother
Are you dreaming about a crow?
In the middle of November we went back
Into the woods right after breakfast
To see if we could see
This past August's forest
Fire zone on the hill above the lake
The sky was low and the wind cold
The trail was closed
At the barricade, I stood listening
In my backpack
You were sleeping with her hat pulled low
All the usual birds were gone or freezing
It was all silent
Except the sound of one crow
Following us as we wove
Through the cedar grove
I walked and you bobbed and dozed sweet kid
We were watched and followed and
I thought of Geneviève
Sweet kid, I heard you murmur in your sleep
"Crow, " you said "Crow, " and I asked
"Are you dreaming about a crow?"
And there she was
What is this world we're giving you?
Smoldering and fascist with no mother
Are you dreaming about a crow?
In the middle of November we went back
Into the woods right after breakfast
To see if we could see
This past August's forest
Fire zone on the hill above the lake
The sky was low and the wind cold
The trail was closed
At the barricade, I stood listening
In my backpack
You were sleeping with her hat pulled low
All the usual birds were gone or freezing
It was all silent
Except the sound of one crow
Following us as we wove
Through the cedar grove
I walked and you bobbed and dozed sweet kid
We were watched and followed and
I thought of Geneviève
Sweet kid, I heard you murmur in your sleep
"Crow, " you said "Crow, " and I asked
"Are you dreaming about a crow?"
And there she was
