Crow Song

I saw the scatterlight streaming
 Down through the century trees
 Bloodfern and juniper
 Sweeteye and shattercane weeds
 I saw the cloud from the cabin
 Slate rock and teeming with storm
 Carrion bird caught in the hearth
 And killed by collision with door
 Feathers all over the floor
 I'll be home where I go
 I'll be home wherever I go
 I'll be home where I go someday
 Buckshot rang out in the distance
 Over and over again
 River the moon shiver
 I saw my sister jump in
 And I saw my brother in Dallas
 Quietly drunk every day
 Gentle and kind and lost in his mind
 And surprised when his wife went away
 And I saw the killers in costume
 And I saw their satellites burn
 And I saw them measure their money
 In whether they look like the people they hurt
 Maybe that's just who we were
 I'll be home where I go
 I'll be home wherever I go
 I'll be home where I go someday
 ♪
 I wake up staggering lonely
 Birdsong and particle air
 Her letter in my jacket
 I carry myself down the stairs
 Lena she treated me easy
 She found me wherever I was
 Bloodfern and juniper
 Sweeteye and shattercane
 That never felt like enough
 That never felt like enough
 I'll be home where I go
 I'll be home wherever I go
 I'll be home where I go someday
 I'll be home where I go
 I'll be home wherever I go
 I'll be home where I go someday
