lyrics

There was one thing that I could do to save your life
enslaved under a witches watchful eye
After five years I said no more Im done Im through
she said if you leave there will be a curse on you

And now I watch you from the branches of my trees
perch on your window but you seem disgusted by me
My caw my hideous melody my lullaby
I try to sing you to sleep but instead you cry
A father birds no father indeed no father to you
your mothers eyes the water inside when you ask who
So you set out to find a man you’ve never known
a man whose presence would have completed your home

To the witches of whom shed heard so many tales
eyes as black as night and skin that is so pale
“Yes i knew your father she said but many years ago
he tried to turn his back so i turned him into a crow
And if you don’t leave at once to you I’ll do the same
your friends and family will get it worse and you’ll be to blame”
“I’m not afraid of you she said as she looked in her eyes
I’ll get my father back and make sure of your demise”
She started to sing she started to dance and the witch wondered why
she started to yell she started to shout she started to cry

The ground it started to shake as the witch screamed
I’ll curse you, take your life and put an end to this thing
The crow dived down to stop the witches attack
a flurry of feathers and a streak of black
Crumpled and broken the bird lay on the floor
but slowly it began to change to transform
“My daughter my dear now you see
that crow that you had so much disgust for that was me
I was always with you always by your side
and here I am with you on the day that I die”
The daughters eyes filled with tears and she began to sing
one last song to you I will bring

“I’ll sing your song
I’ll sing your song
When you can no longer carry on
I’ll sing it loud
for all to hear
I’ll sing it strong
and without fear”
