Black Crow - Joni Mitchell

There’s a crow flying

Black & ragged

Tree to tree

He’s black as the highway that’s leading me

Now he’s diving down

To pick up on something shiny

I feel like that black crow

Flying

In a blue sky

I took the ferry to the highway

Then I drove to a pontoon plane

I took a plane to a taxi

And a taxi to a train

I’ve been traveling so long

How’m I ever gonna know my home

When I see it again

I’m like a black crow flying

In a blue blue sky

In search of love & music

My whole life has been

Illumination

Corruption

And diving diving diving diving

Diving down to pick up on every shiny thing

Just like that black crow flying

In a blue sky

I looked at the morning

After being up all night

I looked at my haggard face in the bathroom light

I looked out the window

And I I saw that ragged soul take flight

I saw a back crow flying

In a blue sky

Oh I’m like a black crow flying

In a blue sky
