lyrics

Little crow, little crow, won't you sit here with me
Tell me about the world 'neath your wings
Tell me what your dark eyes have seen
When you venture on into the night

I've seen a black dog, with a howl like a keening
A ghost's lullaby and a dirge for the living
So I circled above him and I lent him my singing
Then I ventured on into the night

I have seen riders from under the hill
A host of fae hunters, wild and fell
And even at daybreak I can hear the horn still
So I ventured on into the night

I've seen a woman washing clothes at the ford
Clothes fit for a peasant, and fit for a lord
And I love her and fear her and she'll not be ignored
When I venture on into the night

Little crow, little crow, won't you sit here with me
(By the light of the moon)
Tell me about the world 'neath your wings
(Where we know it is safe)
Tell me what your dark eyes have seen
(In this world and the next)
When you venture on into the night

about

Brennan Twiceborn Seattle, Washington

I want to make of my music keys to hidden, secret places in the human heart, and the heart of the world. Bard, harper, changeling. The song in my heart honors both oak and thorn.
