Rain Tree Crow

Hold you in
A sea of silence
On the borderline of truth
Open violence
I see no sign
I see no place i've loved
Depending on the signs
To fine the road


Blackwater take me with you
To the place that i have spoken
Come lead me through the darkness
To the light that i long to see again


I walk with you
But sleep beside her
The summer came and went
It passes us over


I see her cry
I see the face i have loved
Depending on the blind
To find the road


Blackwater take me with you
To the place that i have spoken
Come lead me through the morning
For the land that i long to see again

Shattered dreams on a bed of lies
Now my love dies and cries
Cries and whispers


My heart grew wing under desert skies
Now my love dies and cries
Cries and whispers


And my heart sings of many things
In cries and whispers

She brings me water
Sweeter than wine
Lost in the moment
Summertime


Counting the hours
Beating our time
Shallow as any heart
I could hope to find


Move with the water
Drift with the tide
With no regrets
To keep ghosts alive


When she smiles
She smiles for me
Life runs out
Like a pocketful of change
Time runs out
Like a pocket full of change


Here comes the morning
Blind and tired
Pulled by the undertow
This world of mine
This world is mine


When she cries
She cries for me
Life runs out
Like a pocketful of change
Time runs out
Like a pocket full of change

The beat of his wings on the moon never tire
As black crow descends stealing somebody else's fire
Suffering is no cause for pity
As black crow hits shoe shine city
God's burned his wings
Struck dumb for his crimes
A black crow descends on shoe shine city
