a murder of crows

outside my window
a murder of crows
cry to the morning
cry for the mourning
morning without you

this murder of crows
i hear them calling
some say they're crying
some say they're laughing
either way now
they're telling me the truth

don't want to listen
don't want to hear them
i close my window
but i hear them all the same

outside your window
i am the darkened crow
part of the murder
your love has brought to me
you should have told me
these things that i now see
you took this once true heart
made it blacker than a crow

a murder of crows
they hide my voice now
join in my crying
add to my laughter
spread my newly blackened wings
for my tomorrows without you.
