Well late last night I heard a rappin' on my window paneIt was a black crow medicine bird hangin' from the telephone lineAnd it wailed and boiled out against the windOn a cold road gutter side where the rain flows toward its grave There was a sun stained leaf on the edge of an eddy and dreamAnd it drifted so easy like it was all it ever had to doThere was a crowd in my dream last night full of faces I had never knownSome in rags and some in robes all in a stubborn state of scornAs the walls they tightened nobody got up to goAs I waited for the morning not sure what I was gonna doI had a mind to make for a better time head down the road to some place newWhen I felt upon my shoulder that black crow medicine birdThere was a woman in my dream last night and I'm sure I'd known her beforeShe held in one hand a photograph as she came to me out on the bowerAnd she took from me my oar like it was all I ever had to do From Letras Mania
