Black Crow Lyrics - Blue Light 'til Dawn - Cassandra Wilson

There's a crow flying 

Dark and ragged 

Tree to tree 

he's black as the highway that's leading me 

Now he's diving down 

To pick up on something shiny 

I feel like that black crow 

Flying 

In a blue sky 

I took a ferry to the highway 

Then I drove to a pontoon plane 

I took a plane to a taxi 

And a taxi to a train 

I've been traveling so long 

How'm I ever going to know my home 

When I see it again 

I'm like a black crow flying 

In a blue, blue sky 

In search of love and music 

My whole life has been 

Illumination 

Corruption 

And diving, diving, diving, diving 

Diving down to pick up on every shining thing 

Just like that black crow flying 

In a blue sky 

I looked at the morning 

After being up all night 

I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light 

I looked out the window 

And saw that ragged soul take flight 

I saw a black crow flying 

In a blue sky 

Oh I'm like a black crow flying 

In a blue sky
