Three Crows V1 Three crows restin’ on a rickety fence Callin’ my name, but it don’t make sense I keep on tellin’ ‘em I’m too young to die V2 Three crows perchin’ on a window ledge Lookin’ right in, now I'm feelin’ on edge I keep on tellin’ em I’m too young to die V3 Three crows standin’ at the foot of my bed Beady black eyes borin’ into my head I keep on tellin’ 'em I’m too young to die Bridge But them old birds never pay no mind ...Waitin' there until they know it’s time Then in they swoop on ebony wings Tearin' at the past an' the ache it brings Peckin' at bones of old regrets Strippin’ ‘em bare to help you forget Instrumental solo V4 Three crows restin’ on a weatherworn stone Hummin’ my name, though I thought they’d flown ‘Cause I kept on tellin’ ‘em I was too young to die © 2015 Donna Devine
