Shadows on the road across the silver tracks A murder of crows along a desolate flat One of their brothers something gone wrong Crow John what you done What you done what you done Desperate echoes through the risin' fog A murder crows vigilant law Did they catch you stranded nowhere to hide Your cries unanswered til the end of time Crow John what you done What you done what you done Into the comin' storm they raggedly fly A dozen or more against the darkening sky A murder of jokers with laughing eyes They killed Crow John for who knows why Crow John what you done What you done what you done Crow John what you done What you done what you done
