when a crow dies

when a crow dies
a hundred crows fly
to witness their comrade
I don't know why
do you

when a crow dies
it comes as no surprise
they look for reasons
like it's a wise
thing to do

and they stay for a moment
silent as stone
then they all fly away home

when a crow dies
a hundred crows fly
to witness their comrade
I don't know why
do you

rightfully

I'm so tired of waiting
for love that will never come
it's damn aggravating
and my life is almost done
I have traded all my days
for this semi-hopeful haze
every night I pray
for freedom from this prison cell
of my own design
I just want
what rightfully is mine

cocoon (rewrite 1)

it's hard
it's hard work
it's the hardest work you'll ever know
it's like night
so damn dark
but you won't remember
after you've seen the glow
of the sun
and the fireflies
and the rising of the moon
it's hard work
but it's worth it
coming out of the cocoon

you're afraid
your mind's on fire
attacking everything you are
it's as dark
as the devil's deep desire
while you're endlessly searching
for that northern star
to guide you
through the night 
but the sun will be coming soon
I promise
you'll get used to the light
coming out of the cocoon

fear
will control you 
if you let get too near
fear
it's as natural as breathing
you can't make it disappear
ah, but courage
remember that guy?
he's been with you since the womb
he knows you're ready
hey, look, a butterfly!
coming out of the cocoon
you're ready
shake your wings and fly
out of the cocoon

it's hard
it's hard work
it's the hardest work you'll ever know

pure love

I don't pretend
I know for sure
that what I feel for you
is pure love
pure love

do you agree
I hope you concur
we could make a pair
in pure love
pure love

          we've been waiting all our lives
          for a chance like this
          dancing to the tune
          of tenderness

all I need is you
to be secure
the only thing I dream of
is pure love
pure love

when did I disappear (third verse)

the man that I remember
is not who I am right now
I try not to surrender
but I simply don't know how
my dreams have all evaporated
into the atmosphere
when did I disappear

silent sky

the sky is silent
there are no crickets tonight
I miss their singing

I think it's called love

I went to the doctor
I said doctor, help me please
I need your advice
I'm begging on bended knees
I've come down with
the most miserable disease
I think it's called love
I think it's called love

my head's in the clouds
and I'm thoroughly confused
my head hasn't heard
my heart spreading the news
all I know is
I ain't singing the blues
I think it's called love
I think it's called love

          baby baby tell me true
          what am I to do with you
          I got that crazy misery
          and you are the remedy

I went to the doctor
I went to the lawyer, too
the teachers and the preachers
nobody had a clue
all I know
is how I feel about you
I think it's called love
I think it's called love
I think it's called love
I think it's called love
