The Moon Asked The Crow
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I caught a glimpse out the window
A Polish graveyard filled with widows
I coddle a bottle of warm beer
I see a pool of liquid tears
Glimmering so sweet and mellow
A sea of lilting wilting willow
A secret book of forgotten wishes
Drown in ponds with broken dishes
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
Angel brother, I miss your hair
Careless nature, gentle stare
You fell like rain in the dark abysses
Kissed the lips of bloody twins
Assaulted by a slew of sirens
Tricky mermaids, evil pirates
You watched the sky with kaleidoscopic eyes
Howling out right to the blasphemous night
A wolf in the garden, why do you linger so?
Like a silky snail soul
The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
