Blackbirds And Crows

Eva was a fast thing, most everybody knew
 While other girls were runnin' wild, Eva flew
 Her life was the fast lane but it soon began to show
 So I begged her with me to go
 To a little home here in Idaho
 With the blackbirds and the crows
 One year we were happy and tried to keep our lives on track
 While I was lookin' to the future, Eva was lookin' back
 She said she missed the old life and she was truthful I suppose
 But the truth was she could never leave
 The truth was at nights I'd grieve if I had to let her go
 Blackbirds sat on the fence line
 Crows flew through the sky
 I whispered low into Eva's ear
 Eva your gonna die
 She's half a mile out, a quarter across
 Beneath those wheat field rows
 And no one knows who put her there
 But the blackbirds and crows
 Folks come by, we sit around
 And I tell them how she's gone
 Tell them how she packed her bags and wrecked our happy home
 Oh I tell them she's down in Atlanta, doing cocaine and God only knows
 But Eva's not gone, she's here with me
 Right here where she'll always be with the blackbirds and crows
 Blackbirds sat on the fence line
 Crows flew through the sky
 I whispered low into Eva's ear
 Eva your gonna die
 She's half a mile out, a quarter across
 Beneath those wheat field rows
 And no one knows who put her there
 But the blackbirds and crows
