No magic carpet
To fly me to him
Just some old letters
That prove I knew him
Sometimes to feel good
You’ve got to throw things
Stir up the dark woods with
The flutter of Crow’s wings

At first you’re so scared
Because you’re all alone
You say, “How did I get here?”
You want to run home
But then you hold still
And you start listening
Deep in the dark woods
The flutter of Crow’s wings

Is this the way
life makes you bolder?
Helps a heart to rise above?
Is there an angel on my shoulder?
Where is protection, tell me,
Where is love?
Here on this dirt road
Or in some alley
We walk in shadows
Of the same valley
You fear no evil
Go off to work but
Then some sick devil
Can blow New York up

How do you go on?
I don’t know how I did
I just kept crawling
And sometimes I backslid
How could this happen?
I would do most anything
If only I could send you
The flutter of Crow’s wings

Through the wreckage
We go sifting
For the will to rise above
Heavy hearts in need of healing
Where is protection, tell me,
Where is love?
From kindred chasm
I wish I could save you
I know the love you lost has
Forever changed you
But it’s that same love
When you most need it brings
Deep in the dark woods
The flutter of Crow’s wings

No magic carpet
Just love’s sweet stirring
Deep in the dark woods
The flutter of Crow’s wings

On this dirt road
Or in some alley
We walk in shadows
Of the same valley
May you hold still
And keep listening
Deep in the dark woods
The flutter of Crow’s wings
