lyrics

Have you seen the one they call
The oldest crow
Walks alone outside the walls
Of heart and home
Sidewalks oblivious to tone
The stranger swallows whole
Sidewalks without a single soul
The stranger swallows whole

Tell me your weapon of choice
And I’ll provide you with a melody
Tell your weapon of choice
And I’ll provide you with a melody

Tell me your weapon of choice
And I’ll provide you with a melody
Tell me your weapon choice
And I’ll help you touch the sun

You’ll never keep me down
You’ll never keep me

I have seen the one they call
The oldest crow
Sits alone on the curb
With his guitar
He strums a song that I know
With no voice to call his own
He strums a song for every soul
With no voice to call his own

Tell me your weapon of choice
And I’ll provide you with a melody
Tell me your weapon of choice
And I’ll help you touch the sun

Tell me your weapon of choice
And I’ll provide you with a melody

And as the ships sailed in
From the milky seas
They brought good news of a world
Completely free of disease
All your letters in the sand
Just don’t heal me like your hand
Inside your eyes, I see your mother’s
So cry to me
In this futuristic place
Devoid of sympathy
Maybe we can pack up our stuff
Maybe we’ll run away
We’re gonna run away
