Black As Crow Lyrics

we left town, the woods we loved lost fire

we threw our shoes over the telephone wire

my streets were spinning and needed help

i left a memento to remind myself

now lemon loves the schoolyard, and she's a hit

says she's gonna graduate lickety split

she sat up turning couldn't get through the night

i felt real bad but i slept alright


and all the things you swore would never change

they changed too

yeah they changed too.


maybe you don't know what's good for me

well, maybe you don't know what's good for yourself

lemon bought a dress that's white as snow

but lemon loves the night that's black as crow

i said, lemon loves the night that's black as crow


i knew i was to see you i wanted to look good

i got the hair off my face like my mom said i should

i bought an orange pack of disposable blades

and you said i did a bad job of shaving my face


to you it was nothing

a remark that you made

something you'd forget by the end of the day

well, i sat up turning

couldn't get through the night

you felt real bad but slept just right


maybe you don't know

(maybe you don't know)

maybe you don't know

and it goes to show

everything you once loved black as crow

oh, no maybe you don't know

and it goes to show

you got your lipstick holstered black as crow

said, maybe you don't know

and it seems to me

when everything you once loved black as can be

i said everything you once loved black as crow

  1. Switch the first and second lines, it would be much more grabbier that way! (And that's just one Jan's opinion, of course.)

    Nice job, tho.
