Troubadour Crow
Black who I be
Carrion my feed
Common is my flight
Hidin’ - still -
Back of my fellow
Raven’s roost
I’ll steal away your pain
If you’ll but allow me
Simple
‘Cause it’s also mine
All yea got to do
Is choose
Known your secrets
Can’t hide ’m from me
Does that make me
Your enemy?
Black
Who I be
Carryin’ away your heart on wing
Chargin’ your spirit’s battery
Requires your permit
Yea, black…who I be
Snatchin’ opportunity
Findin’ where they be
Known possibility
‘Cause Black that’s who I be!
Black’s in all souls
Don’t mean you ain’t got one
Black is who we be
Magpie’s make good company
Especially for tea
Especially
For tea!
