lyrics

Three-hundred big, black crows
settle like a dust.
Three-hundred big, black crows.
Is it wanderlust?
Ten silver mourning doves
on a thin, black wire.

Do they come here for the quiet?
Appeasing some mysterious desire?
Does the quiet soothe disquiet,
Appeasing some mysterious desire?

Three-hundred big, black crows
on a big, black tree.
Three-hundred big black crows
and a chickadee.
Ten silver mourning doves
on a big, black fence.

Do they come here for the quiet?
Do they understand it in that sense?
Does the quiet soothe disquiet?
Do they understand it in that sense?

Fickle as the twine
that demarcates the borderline.
Fickle as the air
that takes the crows and the mourning doves over there.
Or anywhere.
Anywhere at all.

Three-hundred big, black crows
congregate downtown
right on top of city hall.
Is the mayor stepping down?
They’d run us just as good.
They’d run us just as fair.

Do they come here for the quiet?
Do they feel a trembling in the air?
Does the quiet soothe disquiet?
Do you feel that trembling in the air?
