seanan mcguire - counting crows lyrics

Loading...

[intro: seanan mcguire]
one’s for sorrow, two’s for joy
three’s for the kisses you gave me, boy
four’s the devil, five’s for sin
six is for the mess that you got me in
seven’s a secret i can’t tell
eight’s for heaven, nine’s for h-ll
does anybody out there think it’s odd
that they ain’t never found a number to pin on god?

[verse: seanan and mich-lle “vixy” dockrey]
she fell in love with a junkyard son from the wrong side of the town
and she let him deep into her heart before he let her down
now she’s counting crows as the miles count down, with no idea where she’s goin’
she’s the lonely ghost of the empty roads, and a trickster wind is blowin’

[verse: seanan and vixy]
she took his hand on a gimcrack dare and the promise of tomorrow
and she’s bartered all she had against what little she could borrow
now it’s one for sorrow and two for mirth, as she’s leaving him behind her
she’s the th-rnless rose of the silent roads, and she’s praying he won’t find her

[chorus 1: seanan and vixy]
so count your crows and count them well
five’s for heaven, six for h-ll
gather feathers, make your bed
find a place to lay your head
in mercy’s shadow, nothing grows
she’s still running, counting crows…

[verse: seanan and vixy]
she was the belle of the backwood ball in her gown of tattered lace
and they didn’t mind her broken heart when they saw her pretty face
now it’s three for to bury all that you have, and it’s four for starting over
she’s the broken dream of the sleepless roads, and she’s bound to be a rover

[verse: seanan and vixy]
she gave him all that she had to give, said his name like she was praying
and of all the promises they made, not a one said she’d be staying
now it’s five for silver and six for gold, and she’s running like a river
she’s the fallen star of the midnight roads, and the heart you can’t deliver

[chorus 2: seanan and vixy]
so count your crows and count them clear;
three’s a wedding, there’s no bride here
count the devil in his turn
the numbers shift so fast they burn
in mercy’s shadow, nothing grows
she’s still running, counting crows…

[verse: seanan and vixy]
she’s had her sorrow, had her joy, and for secrets she has sold them;
she’s had her truth and had her lies, and it’s willingly she’s told them
now she’s given her heart for a kiss and a dance in the arms of mercy’s son
she’s been counting feathers and counting crows, but she can’t change what she’s done

[chorus 3: seanan and vixy]
so count your crows and count them plain;
when the feathers fly, the rhymes remain
count on heaven, count on h-ll
count the secrets you won’t tell
in mercy’s shadow, nothing grows
and she’s still running, counting crows

[outro: seanan and vixy]
in mercy’s shadow, nothing grows
you can’t count on love, so count your crows…
