Wild Crow, she's a rabbit
She tells you she's a crow
She smiles her seashell eyes on you
Like she was your very own
Leads you to a secret den
She takes you by the tooth
But when you're in French restaurants
She never asks you for the truth
Oh Wild Crow, welcome to the night
Can you see that seagull flying high in the pale moonlight?
Oh Wild Crow, meet me on the moon
The mockingbirds are singing, honey, and they're singing just for you
ย
Wild Crow ain't no Indian
Though she gives back all she takes
She fills your skies with eagles
And your mind with the Milky Way
She ain't no Picasso
She ain't no Bill Monroe
She's just like me with a sticky mouth
And makes love just like Rimbaud
Can you feel the rhythm's changing?
The outlaws have gone home
Crow, she's making ready now
To let you know you ain't alone
Then she brings the dreams into your eyes
With the dawn upon her belly
And as you sleep she'll ask you sweet
If she can go out there and get you anything
Oh Wild Crow, welcome to the night
Can't you hear them mockingbirds out in the pale moonlight?
Oh Wild Crow, what you gonna do?
The seagull, he's just waiting, honey, and he's waiting just for you
ย
Now Crow she may be part of you
She's also part Cezanne
Don't worry if she splits the frame
Just let her colors run
'Cause the posters on her wall, they're great
For all the saints who can't escape
Who lie long dead on the tabletops
Verlaine, Saint Joan and Yeats
Yeah, the chief can make you crazy
Or make you low like a four-eyed snake
As she rolls your head like a pair of dice
And sheds all your mistakes
And when you're low down naked
Feeling like the ocean sun
She knows sailors can't escape her
When they're hungry, drowning and they're drunk
Oh Wild Crow, welcome to the night
Can you see that seagull flying high in the pale moonlight?
Oh Wild Crow, meet me on the moon
The mockingbirds are singing, honey, and they're singing just for you
ย
You don't tell her nothing, man
That secret dark of cloak
Her best friend is Saint Stanislaus
There's no darkness in her soul
And even though she's honest
She still can tell a lie
So don't wade in her river, man
Or she'll make you want to testify
But if she sees you falling
She pretends like you can stand
Though you're feeling forty percent
Like a woman she can make you feel all man
'Cause her gift is rice and silver spoons
Her teeth are borrowed gold
She plays lead guitar with history
But she looks like rock and roll
Oh Wild Crow, welcome to the night
Can you see that seagull flying high in the pale moonlight?
Oh Wild Crow, meet me on the moon
The mockingbirds are humming, honey, and they're humming just for you
ย
Wild Crow ain't no villain
But she's an angel dressed to kill
She don't plan on dying
'Cause the road ain't in her will
Me, I am an eagle
Watching from a silver mast
As she steals the time from sexy minds
And blinds them with a laugh
Still making love to her is sweet
Like being loved by all you know
She even keeps a treasure box
For everything you stole
And though you think you're Jesse James
And you did all that he could
She says you are her patron saint
And calls you Robin Hood
Oh Wild Crow, welcome to the night
Can't you hear them mockingbirds out in the pale moonlight?
Oh Wild Crow, what you gonna do?
The eagle, he's just waiting, honey, and he's coming after you
ย
Yeah, Wild Crow
