The Crow and the Raven (III) [feat. Lindsay Lou]

Leavin' this morning out of Oakland to the prairie Last night I might've got some rest Hard way to fall, from a heartbreak to a city But year after year I chase my troubles here You can't steal a heart if you know you never found it Lord, at least I admit I tried Please forgive this trespass for I knew she could sing my death Leave me by the road in them lonesome fields of rye Noticed something changin' in the corner of her eye And now I'm back beneath the circles of the blackbirds in the sky I knew that she might leave me when the days got to gettin' longer She's just a bird in misery and won't come down alone If she'd just let herself fly a little lower I might tell the difference in a raven and a crow Wheels turnin' north on that East Sierra Highway Burnin' mountains on my shoulder Just like the deserts that darken to the East Swear I could almost feel her gettin' colder Under the yellow pine the night she went away Realized I's ridin' for the fall Fairweather friend I make out it's the end And it all falls deaf on mountain air Noticed something changin' in the corner of her eye Now I'm back beneath the circles of the blackbirds in the sky I knew that she might leave me when the days got to gettin' longer She's just a bird in misery and won't come down alone If she'd just let herself fly a little lower I might tell the difference in a raven and a crow Wasn't her I saw with feathers changing But the thrush is the sound that calls me from the willow Sunset's better in California But I might be gone when the wind comes for tomorrow I might be gone when the wind comes for tomorrow You can't steal a heart if you know you never found it
