A Murder Of One Lyrics - August And Everything After - Counting Crows

Blue morning, blue morning 

Wrapped in strands of fist and bone 

Curiosity, kitten 

Doesn't have to mean you're on your own 

You can look outside your window 

He doesn't have to know 

We can talk a while, baby 

We can take it nice and slow 

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame 

All your love is just a dream, dream, dream 

Well, are you happy where you're sleepin'? 

Does he keep you safe and warm? 

Does he tell you when you're sorry? 

Does he tell you when you're wrong? 

Well I've been watching you for hours 

It's been years since we were born 

We were perfect when we started 

I've been wondering where we've gone 

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame 

All your love is just a dream, dream, dream 

Well, I dreamt I saw you walking 

Up a hillside in the snow 

Casting shadows on the winter sky 

As you stood there counting crows 

One for sorrow, two for joy 

Three for girls and four for boys 

Five for silver, six for gold 

Seven for a secret never to be told 

But there's a bird that nests inside you 

Sleeping underneath your skin 

Yeah, when you open up your wings to speak 

I wish you'd let me in 

All your life is such a shame, shame, shame 

All your love is just a dream, dream, dream 

Open up your eyes, you can see the flames, flames, flames 

Of your wasted life, you should be ashamed 

Yeah, you don't want to waste your life, baby 

You don't wanna waste your life, now darlin' 

You don't wanna waste your life, baby 

You don't wanna waste your life, now darlin' 

Oh, you don't wanna waste your life, now babe 

I said, "You don't wanna waste your life, now darlin'" 

Oh, you don't wanna waste your life, now baby 

Oh, you don't wanna, you don't wanna waste your life, now darlin' 

Change, change, change 

Change, change, change 

Change, change, change 

I walk along these hillsides in the summer 'neath the sunshine 

I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me 

I said, "I walk along these hillsides in the summer 'neath the sunshine 

I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me" 

I said, "I will walk along these hillsides 

In the summer 'neath the sunshine 

I am feathered by the moonlight falling down on me" 

I said, "I will walk along these hillsides 

In the summer 'neath the sunshine 

I am feathered by the moonlight" 

Change, change, change 

Change, change, change 

Change, change, change 

Oh change, change, yeah 

Oh, change, change, change 

Oh, change, change, change 

Change, change, change change 

Change, change, change, change, change
