The Weatherman's Garden

from CROW by BAAN

/

lyrics

[Wasn’t it this way?
Maybe it’s the other way?
Maybe it’s through here.]

I went to sleep with your song in my head
You were the same, but I was gone again
For the last time

[I don’t know what that was, but there was a sudden blast of cold air, and I’m getting out of here.]

All you said was, “Wait for me, I will return.”
So I waited whilst the forest burned
No-one could know the secret of our love

[D’you hear that? Sounds like, uh… Is that wind? Do you hear that? It’s stopped. Well, I don’t know what that is. That doesn’t sound like wind, but… that’s crazy. Don’t know if that’s a bird, or… I don’t know what that is. It almost sounds like snakes, but… Well, I heard some weird stuff in mines, but that is definitely creepy. I don’t know what that is, so let’s get out of here and head back out to the portal.]

[What…? What the fuck is that?]

There’s a crow with one white feather
He keeps it together
He lives in the Weatherman’s garden
He’s a crow, he lives in the sky
Where crows never die
Begging your majesty’s pardon

But he’s just a bird
Never uttered a word
All dressed to the nines
In black

[You can see what it’s like over here. That’s her jacket. She wore that jacket while she was here. So, there that jacket is. She wore that hat. There’s the hat over there. She wore that hat. So, here hat and her jacket there.]

I’m such a sentimental fool
Oh, sentimental fool
That’s me, Mr Sentimentality.
That’s me.

Once upon a morning I dreamed about your bones
No-one ever wrote a song who didn’t suffer something
Choose your pain, again again
The same old pain, but here it comes, a whole new day

Sometimes the sea is calling, the sun is falling
The sky turns upside down

Sorry to hear the old dog died
Broke her leg, and how she cried
While we were on the phone
Climbed the stairs and broke her bone

[Oh, you motherf…]

I went to sleep with your song in my head
You were the same, but I was gone again

‘Cause, that’s me.
‘Cause, Mr Sentimentality
That’s me

I went to sleep with your song in my head
You were the same, but I was gone again
For the last time

[Fuck! Oh, God it’s all gravel. How do I put myself out? Quick, quick!]

All you said was, “Wait for me, I will return.”
And so I waited whilst the forest burned
No-one could know the secret of our love

There’s a crow with one white feather
He keeps it together
He lives in the Weatherman’s garden
He’s a crow, he lives in the sky
Where crows never die
Begging your majesty’s pardon

But he’s just a bird
Never uttered a word
All dressed to the nines
In black

[Am I dead? Oh, God. Oh, fuck me. Fuck me, that gravel on the bot… I almost died, that was so fucking close, Holy sh…]
