Lyrics

[Verse 1]
There's a crow flying, black and ragged, tree to tree to tree
He's black as the highway that is leading me
Now he's diving down to pick up on something shiny
I feel like that black crow flying
In a blue sky
[Verse 2]
I took a ferry to the highway
Then I drove to a pontoon plane
I took the plane to a taxi
And the taxi to a train
I've been traveling so long
How am I ever going to know my home when I see it again?
I'm like that black crow flying
In a blue sky
[Verse 3]
In search of love and music, my whole life has been
Illumination, corruption, and diving, diving, diving, diving
Diving down to pick up on every shiny little thing
I'm just like that black crow flying
In a blue sky
[Verse 4]
I looked at the morning after being up all night
I dug on my haggard face in the bathroom light
I looked out the window and I saw
I saw that ragged soul take flight
Man, I saw a back crow flying
Up in a blue sky
I saw that black crow flying
In a blue sky
