Lone Crow

Lone crow upon the wire

Taking time to catch your breath

You've been flying for so long

But you're going nowhere fast

While you're waiting for the call

And holding out for better weather

Won't you show me what you've seen

Help put this puzzle back together

To you the world's a moving image

Just as still as it is fast

No matter how you shift the frame

You catch the present not the past

And so you won't stop flying

Time ain't got you by the heels

If you aren’t living, then you're dying

There’s no point in spinning wheels

Lift me up to where you're standing

We'll take a walk on that high wire

So you can teach me how to dance

On that trapeze in the sky

And when I come back down

Your song still playing in my ear

I'll begin to understand

That only love can conquer fear

Cuz I know the world's a moving image

Just as still as it is fast

No matter how I shift the frame

I catch the present not the past

And so I just won't stop flying

Time ain't got me by the heels

If I’m not living, then I'm dying

There's no point in spinning wheels
