Protect You From Crows
There’s a storm brewin’ up with the high tides of spring
Oh it takes me right back to when you would be king
And lavender’s blue in the still wintery sun
Seen lavender so many colours since then
When you whispered by the water
‘Quick, teach me time, love and slow, show me how
Leave yourself here, eventually, now
If you show me and tell me and want it for free
I’ll forget all I’ve learned and I’ll be
Yes I’ll be, just like me’
There’s a storm brewin’ up, over the lake
And the stars in the dark sky light up our way,
Til daybreak
And the crow flies coming at you
You say, ‘You can learn a thing or two
From the crows, flying out’
‘Quick, teach me time, love and slow, show me how
Leave yourself here, eventually, now
If you show me and tell me and want it for free
I’ll forget all I’ve learned and I’ll be
Yes I’ll be, just like me’
Oh, after all, when it’s all said and done
When it’s all said and done and the storm’s been and gone
When the storm’s been and gone, oh after all
When it’s all said and done, after all this …
I’ll always protect you from crows

“Wow. Fundamental! Shows how mood really can be content. Plus, the video is great, the soft luminous quality should be at odds with the tone but it is just right! A new solid cool.” Gary Saunt, artist
