I slipped along the banks of the frozen river by your house
A snowy pond, a kite, is flying high and quiet there
Oh quiet there
The wind it moans, my fingers try to squeeze each other warm
Two black crows, fly high, they circle around me looking down
Oh, the crows looking down
We are alone the crows and I
The Wind, the Crows, and I
For the last two weeks I've had strangers say to me, "Hey you look tired."
I stare down at my feet, fold my tongue and hardly squeak, "Well maybe so."
Maybe so
Maybe so
My head it tilts my tongue it catches snow flakes falling soft
And when they die, my warmth, it only magnifies what's lost
Oh the lost and I
We are alone the lost and I
The wind, the crows, the lost and I
