about

The chords for this tune were written long ago and went with a odd waltz I'd written about getting a cold. John Fallon suggested changing it up to 4/4 time, and afterwards a new set of lyrics came to me.

lyrics

My friend I’m sorry it has come to this.
How we got here is nobody's guess.
Like a virus living in my head
I feel all doubt and growing dread.

While I’m convinced we’re nearly dead
You offer no hope or will to live.
Won’t you get back, get back at it?
You’re hung so low like a marionette.

But you dance for no one, you don’t understand
The curtain will draw before you command.
And anyone who’s cared to lend us a hand
Won’t wait for you to strike up the band.

That’s the way that it goes
Everybody knows now
Baby crows sing loud.
But they might not ever take wing.

Your best excuse was your last goodbye
and nobody heard that you didn’t try.
In the black fetid air of a sleepless night
you knew you were well when you weren't alright.

Ah, the glimmer of the fading dawn:
will you look back and see that it’s gone?
Or maybe you thought it was never there?
Do you even know? Do you care?

That’s the way that it goes
Everybody knows now
Baby crows sing loud.
But they might not ever take wing.
