Crow on the High Wire Lyrics

I've been thinking too much

I've worn out the elbow in my shirt

And in the drowning air

I try not to feel too hurt

The sodden sky might try and shove me down

But the crow on the high wire plays the clown

In the Summer heat

It's easy to take offense

But the red-tailed hawk

Wheels above in my defense

Gentle sadness oft-times is a friend

And the crow on the high wire plays pretend

Oh the crow the crow the crow the crow

Oh the crow the crow the crow the crow

Oh the crow the crow the crow the crow

Oh the crow the crow the crow the crow

Oh the crow the crow the crow the crow

Oh the crow the crow the crow the crow

If the clouds don't burst soon I think I might cry

And the crow on the high wire takes to the sky
