Old friend, do you make the sunset? Do you make the bright stars flee? Old crow, time is getting late I know you've a gift for me Old bird, I see it in your talons Glittering between the leaves Friend, I'm swimming in the shallows You're calling from the deep And we bide our time And we shed our skins And we shake our bones And we sink like stones And we crawl through mud Till we reach the sky And we bide our time Old bird, you and I are brothers Bonded by if and would Old crow, you and I are sisters Swimming in a bowl of blood Old friend, you and I were strangers Living by a restless sea Friend, I knew when the wind blew That you were calling me And we bide our time And we shed our skins And we shake our bones And we sink like stones And we crawl through mud Till we reach the sky And we bide our time And we bide our time And we bide our time And we bide our time And we bide our time And we bide our time And we crawl through mud Till we reach the sky And we bide our time
