lyrics

There was a crow at my crossroads • It was perched on a fork and it asked me where I wish to go • But I do not know • Could you tell me so? Well he’s oil black and now he’s on my back and he urges me to face some facts • But I tell him No, no I wont • And he says Bee please bee • You have to go down the difficult road • And I say crow I can agree • And I will go with only what I know • If you say so • Well I closed my eyes and chose a track • With the crow still firmly on my back • He runs the show • Me I I too and from • My legs are lead and my feet are black • But we’re onto something • I’m sure of that so we roam • Me and that crow • And I say crow have you seen this road? • Is it one you know? • From the seeds we’ve sown • And he says Bee I do not know • You just have to go • And live with hope • If you say so • There was a crow at my crossroads and I kept him for a pet • Well he mimics strength when my brain is bent • And my fire’s running low • He is my crow • The only one I know • That oil black crow • And so we try • And so we try • With our heads held high • And our hearts full of pride • And so we try • And so we try With our heads held high • And our hearts full of pride • At least we try •

Coops & the Bird image

Coops & the Bird Adelaide, Australia

Coops & the Bird tell stories and tempt souls as they weave a rich tapestry of blues inspired folk that interlaces clever lyrics, unique melodies and a driving, rhythmic guitar.

“I was a fan of Coops & the Bird from around about fourteen seconds into their first song, and knew I needed to tell the world about them...”
