Songs for Our Journey 57

I wrote this while living on Terry Road in Hillsborough, NC.  There was a long red clay driveway through woods that I loved, although in the rain or snow it sometimes was very slidey!  Sadly, I did not have a camera then to take pictures of the crows that I wrote about in the song.  The photo above is from the internet with my clumsy photoshopping the road a bit.  Sorry I don't know who to credit for the photo, but my guess is that she or he had an experience something like mine.  The vividness of the crows against the red clay, and in fact, the vividness of crows in general, woke us up to the beauty of the day.  

​Blue Black Crows

Blue black crows on a red clay road
Oh the morning sun
Blue black crows on a red clay road
Oh the morning sun
Blue black crows on a red clay road
Oh the morning sun....
I took my trouble to the riverside
I had nowhere else to run
 
Blue black crows on a red clay road
Shine in the morning sun
Blue black crows on a red clay road
Shine in the morning sun
Blue black crows on a red clay road
Shine in the morning sun....
I lost my lover but I found my Love
See what the Earth has done
 
She twirled me high on a bluebird's wing
See what the Earth has done
She called my name in a whipoorwill's song
See what the Earth has done
She showed my face in the midnight moon
See what the Earth has done
Now my heart is full of the colors of the world
My life has just begun
My... life has just begun!
