about

Written/Produced/Engineered by Adam Wazonek
Vancouver, BC
Still Creek crows, long may you fly.

lyrics

Running out back just to check out the spectacle
The sky turns black in an everyday miracle
Heaven and earth in rush hour traffic
The cinema of nature with a healthy dose of magic
Like clockwork, daily migration
From all over town to one final destination
Down on the tarmac, souls in metal bubbles
Going a million different places with a million different struggles

Eastbound they're flying
Calling from the trees, lining up upon the telephone wires
One being up in the sky
Faces on the ground passing show to the birds on high
A thousand wings in flight
Murder overhead, bringer of the night
Blackening the sky, watching as the crows fly by

Dusk comes, harbingers of the dark
Look up, they call in familiar tongue
And I wonder what they could be saying
So long to another day
And it's moonrise
Roost assembled till dawn is nigh
A sight for awestruck eyes
Turned skyward till the lonesome echo of the final cry
Watching the crows fly by

Wind meets feather, diving down up above us
Who's the ringleader of this flying circus?
Dark eyes laughing at human kind
Trash cans and power lines, the rest of it is worthless
Glimpse caught by the evening commuter
Foot off the gas of some big gross polluter
One eye on taillight, one on the night sky
Awakening the dream of travelling as the crow flies

Eastbound they're flying
Calling from the trees, lining up upon the telephone wires
One being up in the sky
Faces on the ground passing show to the birds on high
A thousand wings in flight
Murder overhead, bringer of the night
Blackening the sky, watching as the crows fly by

A thousand wings in flight
Murder overhead, bringer of the night
Blackening the sky, watching as the crows fly by
Calling from the trees and the telephone wires
All these faces on the ground passing show
To the birds on high
A thousand wings in flight
Murder overhead, bringer of the night
Blackening the sky, watching as the crows fly by
Calling from the trees and the telephone wires
All these faces on the ground passing show
To the birds on high
