The Moon Asked the Crow
CocoRosie
Grey Oceans (2010)

I caught a glimpse out the window
A poolish graveyard filled with widows
A garden, a bar den (?) of warm beer
I see a pool of liquid tears
Glimmering so sweet and mellow
I see a melting welting willow
A secret book of forgotten wishes
Drowned in barns with broken dishes

The moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know

Angel brother, i miss your hair
Careless nature, gentle stare
You fell like rain in the dark abysses
Kiss the lips of bloody twins
Assaulted by a slew of sirens
tricky mermaids, evil pirates

You watch the sky with kaleidoscopic eyes
Howling outright to the blasphemous night
A wolf in the garden, why do you need a soul
like a selfish little sow
So the moon asked the crow
For a little show
In the hazy milk of twilight
No one had to know
