lyrics

my dad he fell in love with a bird
sweetest words i ever heard

fed her from the palm of his hand
and this was his first love
this was his true love

one morning she did come calling
of death she had heard through the night

so she did cover him
with fern and braken
and lay atop of him
with her black beating wing

this murder of crows
they come from below
and gather your bones
and carry you home

my dad he told this story to me
with eyes black as coal
you look just like she…
