Ravens

You called me up the other night

 Then beat around the bush

 Asked me how the dogs are

 And how the Renos look

 You paused a sec and took a breath

 Then it came pouring out

 You’re not sure what you think of god

 You don’t feel like yourself

 So I said hey

 Brother won’t you come on home

 If you’re tired

 If its late

 If you’re broke

 If the air in your lungs Is burning like smoke

 If you need a place to hide away

 Shelter or safe haven 

 From singing songs to label heads that live just for the taking

 If you find that you can’t sing the songs of songbirds anymore

 Cause you’re black as night 

 Always flying high

 And your happy sounds like breaking

 Come on home boy you’re a raven 

 Said you quit the bottle 

 Quit the bud

 You still fuck 

 But it ain’t love

 No you don’t feel like yourself
