Crow Song

I saw the scatterlight streaming Down through the century trees Bloodfern and juniper Sweeteye and shattercane weeds I saw the cloud from the cabin Slate rock and teeming with storm Carrion bird caught in the hearth And killed by collision with door Feathers all over the floor I'll be home where I go I'll be home wherever I go I'll be home where I go someday Buckshot rang out in the distance Over and over again River the moon shiver I saw my sister jump in And I saw my brother in Dallas Quietly drunk every day Gentle and kind and lost in his mind And surprised when his wife went away And I saw the killers in costume And I saw their satellites burn And I saw them measure their money In whether they look like the people they hurt Maybe that's just who we were I'll be home where I go I'll be home wherever I go I'll be home where I go someday I wake up staggering lonely Birdsong and particle air Her letter in my jacket I carry myself down the stairs Lena she treated me easy She found me wherever I was Bloodfern and juniper Sweeteye and shattercane That never felt like enough That never felt like enough I'll be home where I go I'll be home wherever I go I'll be home where I go someday I'll be home where I go I'll be home wherever I go I'll be home where I go someday
