“One crow for sorrow”, the legend goes
You know the future when you count the crows
I’ve seen the signs flying in the skies
I feel the tears burning in my eyes
“One crow for sorrow, two for mirth
Three for a wedding, four for a birth
And five for the happiest thing on earth”
Today I woke up, today was too late
One crow for sorrow was at my gate
He brought a message though he didn’t sing
Just looked right through me and took to the wing
“One crow for sorrow, two for mirth
Three for a wedding, four for a birth
And five for the happiest thing on earth”
“One crow for sorrow”, the legend goes
They tell the tales of counting the crows
I’ve seen the signs flying in the skies
I see the signs but I hide my eyes
I’ve seen too, too much sorrow, too little mirth
I’ve lived through a wedding, I’ve given birth
But I’m still waiting to see five crows fly
Maybe you’ll see them the day that I die
“One crow for sorrow, two for mirth
Three for a wedding, four for a birth
And five for the happiest thing on earth”
