Solo Crow [Live; with Roz McCulloch]

from Lost in the Woods by Lewis Mullen

about

Written c, 2010. Recorded in 2016

A Ferny Brackens favourite that I couldn't quite let go of; or rather the song wouldn't let go of me. Roz asked if I'd like to dig this one up and I said "You carry the lantern, I'll get my spade"

lyrics

Solo Crow on you telegraph pole that's me
I remember everything I see
Careful what you say when you see that big black bird
'Cause I remember everything I've heard

Jack McGee and Billy Lee had a fight
All alone by the river side last night
Way down stream I followed Billy Lee
Now he's tangled up in weeds where the river meets the sea

Solo Crow on you telegraph pole that's me
I remember everything I see
Careful what you say when you see that big black bird
'Cause I remember everything I've heard

If crows could talk
The tales I'd squawk would give you a chill on a sunny day
Do you really wanna hear what the ones you hold dear
Say about you when you're away?

Do you really wanna know
Where you go when you die?
Beyond that patch of earth where your dry bones lie
There's no Hell if you're bad there's only me
Big black feather cloud hangin over thee

Solo Crow on you telegraph pole that's me
I remember everything I see
Careful what you say when you see that big black bird
'Cause I remember everything I've heard
Yes I remember everything I see

Lewis Mullen Glasgow, UK

I write the kind of music I'd like to listen to, and I hope you enjoy listening to it to. It's a window into a slightly different world that's a more honest mirror of our own
