A Murder

I woke up a little early, to watch a murder

Of crows mobbing down to kill off their old friend

I feel like that old blackbird, buried by my demons

Picked clean to the core, with nothing left to give

I been working every day, watching the clock go

Out my window as the trees bend down

They're heavy with the bleedings of the saddest season

The best fruit's gone, the rest is rotting on the ground

I don't know just what the answer is

But darlin' I can try

To save myself while the world still spins

But there's a murder in the sky

Yeah, I know that it seems crazy, but when it's cold out

I don't see my shadow cause the sun can't seem to shine

And I swear that I can feel 'em, in a big black circle

Waitin' for the day I fall down for the last time

I don't know just what the answer is

But honey I can try

To save myself while the world still spins

But there's a murder in the sky

there's a murder in the sky
