Crow Covered Tree

I remember I woke to find me sitting at the end of the bed
My fingers were calm and resting under my chin
My hands had been waiting to wake me from the strangest dream
A looming thought was lurking in my head
Dr. Death came to visit us again
With my lungs tangled in my thoughts I leaned back against the pillow
I would make my way back to sleep once more

It just takes some time to find out that the bones you break
It just takes some time to find out that they’re the least
of what’s there to break

I found myself in the same dream from where I had left a lifetime ago
I was sitting at the end of the bed, waiting for me to wake up
Thinking how I would break him the news
We’re going around, going around in circles
How could I ask you even more?

It just takes some time to find out that the bones you break
It just takes some time to find out that the bones you break
And time if anything has been my good friend in this
And time if anything has been turning back,
turning back until I break

The crow covered tree outside the room
The crow covered tree outside the room
The crow covered tree outside the room
Had been asleep for days

The Last Waltz

My dear lover, the flame
She was dancing in the colosseum

That’s when I found she was asking my hand
Oh lover, please, give me one last waltz
Rome was burning down and the clouds were growing darker
And the sky was mocking me with his dagger
She spoke in verse, my dear lover, the flame

You, asked for me
You, you begged from me

Go away, winter rain

So I ran with my hat in my hands just to prove my faith
She was running wild through the alleys, the streets and the colosseum
I did my best , Oh but I just couldn’t fool the rain

Stay here with me ‘till the rain brings me down
Hear the rattle of those pearls falling down the steps of the old dream of light.
They lead to the shadowed square where my memory hides all her thieves
And all I beg from you is one last waltz

Go away, winter rain
Oh go away, winter rain

I ran with my hat in my hands just to prove my faith
She was running wild through the alleys, the streets and the colosseum
I did my best, as I kneeled and prayed to the statue of every god

Leave us, winter rain
And all I beg from you is time for one last waltz
