I take my crow with feathers and all With carrion still in its craw With beaks and bones and bacteria I take my crow black and bitter With a rub of sage and coriander Rosemary and onion powder I take my crow with sweet potatoes Cornbread stuffing and heirloom tomatoes Paired with a pinot grigio I take my crow on Royal Doulton With Waterford crystal wine stems Served on the finest white linens I choke it down

My Lonesome 03:26
I will play my song With words I wrote all by my lonesome It will not take long Just long enough for you to smile some Then perhaps a minute or two longer My audience tonight Is one among the many who’ve come My audience tonight Is weary and worn Bleary and bored Save for but one So I will play for you Play the very best I’m able If you clap or sing along I will be forever grateful That is all that I could ask for My audience tonight Is one among the many who’ve come My audience tonight Is weary and worn Bleary and bored Save for but one

Been told I only write Such sad songs That my heart must be sad too Well, I guess they’re right Cuz I feel it Beating sadly all night Beating sadly all night But then again How can we grow When we’re always comfortable? So here it goes My best shot At a song so joyous At a song so joyous I’m so happy for you And your happy home And your happy bones I’m so happy for you From your happy head To your happy toes I’m so happy for you I could hold my arms out And be happy for you For you

These lines divide They diverge and reconnect This house upon such plans Was drawn so perfect These walls were borders Of stone and mortar And every crack and corner was bound I’ve built temples To the sky that now Lay in ruin on the ground Sculpted grounds And statues worn and wild Sprawling rooms Of imported Spanish tile These walls were borders Of stone and mortar And every crack and corner was bound I’ve built temples To the sky that now Lay in ruin on the ground Parlors filled with daylight Breezy and cool were our days Behind these walls These walls were borders Of stone and mortar And every crack and corner was bound I’ve built temples To the sky that now Lay in ruin on the ground

The Sweet Alyssum, the Lilac The Jasmine and Stock The Lily of the Valley And the Four O’Clock The Boronia, Wisteria Gardenia and Rose Well, I heard you coughing I heard you coughing I’ve doubled the dosage and filled your prescriptions I’ve cast out the demons with verse from the scriptures And none of that worked and your vitals are poor And the leeches aren’t thirsty no more I heard you coughing The Sweet Alyssum, the Lilac The Jasmine and Stock The Lily of the Valley And the Four O’Clock The Boronia, Wisteria Gardenia and Rose Well, I heard you coughing I heard you coughing The cause may lie deeper than we were expecting And in my professional second opinion A rag with some ether, you’re going under Nurse, hand me that scalpel there, I’m going in Perhaps i should have realized Perhaps we should just give up Perhaps we should just let go All creation finds it’s end I heard you coughing
