Lyrics
Crow and the Ring
I met a crow just down the road,
Black as the night; it followed me.
Upon my stairs, it slightly stepped;
I sprinkled round sunflower seeds.
I named that crow Diego;
Each morning, would sit carefree.
Along my journey, we would go;
He waited in the trees.
I met a man with coal black eyes;
He quickly stole my heart.
We swore our love would forever be,
And we would never part.
A silver ring he gave to me;
It sparkled and shined.
Diego brought a rose to me
And a string like crimson wine.
The crow and the ring
Will both return to me
Eventually,
But only one will I keep.
One dawn, my love was late to meet,
But Diego he took flight.
Out past the woods, I followed him
'Til my own love I’d find.
Wrapped up in crimson blankets, he
And another made their bed.
They slept in such silent peace,
His arm beneath her head.
As I tried to reason all,
All I could do was weep.
Diego came to comfort me;
I tossed my shiny ring.
I ran back to my little home,
Heavy now with grief.
Diego tarried in the wood
'Til morning came to be.
I gathered up the crumbs I had;
I could not bear to eat
And laid them there for him to take,
But he had gifts for me.
Two eyes he offered me,
Bloody at my feet,
And clutched within his tiny claw
A shiny silver ring—
A shiny silver ring,
A shiny silver ring.
