Alyssa Barron - The Crow Lyrics

And the crow by the sea painted omens of black
In the night that she called her home
As a child I would cry when they turned out the light
In the dark I felt far too alone
I hadn't learned how to be so alone
Not long after night came to teach me its ways
Did I look for the darkness in me
And I learned from the crow how to change in the day
'Til you know, you're just too blind to see
I didn't know I was too blind to see
One day I'll know who I am
And one of these nights I'll sleep with my head in your hands
'Til then, I'll stay close to me
And I'll see what I see
Know what I know
Do what I can
That's all I got
Pause a minute now, give a chance to sink in
Take a breath here, figure out where you've been
Come hang with me out on the line
And give yourself time
When you're humming my tune and you've stolen my voice
Keep some words for me safely away
Though you tied up my tongue I know you had no choice
Children get hurt when they choose to play
Wild abandon is still how I play
One day I'll know who I am
And one of these nights I'll sleep with my head in your hands
'Til then, I'll stay close to me
And I'll see what I see
Know what I know
Do what I can
That's all I got
Pause a minute now, give a chance to sink in
Take a breath here, figure out where you've been
Come hang with me out on the line
And give yourself time
And the crow on her wing painted omens of black
In her home on the edge of the sea
And she taught me the secret to change in the day
Now I look for the darkness in me
Fill the space with the darkness in me
One day I'll know who I am
And one of these nights I'll sleep with my head in your hands
But 'til then, I'll stay close to me
And I'll see what I see
Know what I know
Do what I can
That's all I got
