Scavenger Bird

I saw a crow, feeding a crow
 A small scrap of metal from a toilet hole
 I've seen the birds, circling your big Southern eyes
 What could they want, it's no big surprise
 I've seen the birds parting your cracked country mouth
 There's no wonder my love what this is about
 Our nature's a monster, we pull and we pry
 What will you find?
 A crowbar, a hammer, a delicate word
 Will open the door to the scavenger bird
 Accept no presents for each is a lie
 Whose depth you will know by the strength of the shine
 The ring on your finger it ain't worth the change
 You send down the wishing well, bring me some rain
 The fields have gone dry, blackbirds are starving for love
 Of any old kind
 Run your long fingers through the powdered earth
 It's you who brings the rain
 I saw a crow with the cock of his head
 He solved a great puzzle and hustled for bread
 A crowbar, a hammer, a delicate word
 Opens the door to the scavenger bird
