Rook Lyrics

Corvus, you've led me here

I've lost my feathers moving castle to castle

At your request

All that I want is some bark I can nestle

And live off fruit from it's impregnated vine

I want to travel with you and crow

But I am weary of this road

That I've travelled with you

There is no place you cannot go

But I am weary of this road

Molted of both my wings

I've found my refuge in the branches of springtime

And I have all that I need

So now I sing for my own selfish pleasure

Under a surfeit of branches and leaves

There's not much more that I could ask for

Except for feathers on my sleeves

For when it gets cold

And all my bones

Have been exposed

By my travels with you

Loneliness is all I sow

And so my will erodes

Ambition reached for higher places

Than were ever meant to fly

I guess my faith in you took away

My faith in anybody else

Time goes on

And I see you two flying

I long to join you on the breeze

I tried so hard to catch the wind you're riding

But in spite of all I tried to be

I'm just a bird who fell from your tree
