I've been working all day long I've been breaking my back To feed your greed and pay your rent I've been working all day long I say my prayers to passing trains I set out burning candles for the saints Old Crow, won't you teach me how to fly So I can ride them rails in the pale moonlight You got yourself a whore You broke me down, deceive and mistreat me Make me bow, make me smile You got yourself a whore I can't be your woman no more I can't be no cupcake baking, shit taking, baby making I can't be your woman no more

The summer days are ending And the sky overhead is turning red So I sit down beside my old campfire Cause it's been a long hard day, and I'm tired I like living in the place where spiders make their webs As roommates go they don't bother me much Sometimes I catch them swaying in time while I sing They taught me the eight legged waltz The night brings clouds of chimney soot grey I can't do nothing, so I sit and I pray For the sun how I miss her, and I long to be with her The endless rain's the only reason I pray The endless rain's the only reason I pray The only reason I pray at all I've been trying to read the signs in the number of crows that pass by Throwing feathers in the wind, but they're always blowing west I've been trying to find the time to learn the art of reading minds But I found to speak your mind works best I hear the wind as it whispers through the trees It's the same every year with the falling of the leaves But the sound is so faint I can't trust my ears My bones are so weary I can't trust my years Coming apart at the seams, can't wake from my dreams But the recluse whispers sweetly in my ear Let him sit on my cheek, drink my tears he likes the salt While I play him the eight legged waltz I'm going insane it's the only reason I pray The endless rain's the only reason I pray This winterus cage is the only reason I pray The only reason I pray at all

Didn't your momma ever teach you how to howl Did she just teach you how to beg and how to growl What do you know, you ain't got no home Going to dig your bed in the fallen snow To my surprise, you've grown old Your fire grew dim and your hearth grew cold When that temper snapped, you'd give me quite a scare With that backhand and that hot-iron stare Well I know you really love and care about me When you tell me that you'll kill me if I leave But I swore to god that my little girl never'd see That scared black and blue side of me

Well it looks like I've got myself stuck Just like those docks I saw out on the georgia strait Though they seem to move just a little more than me The high tide comes in about twice a day I feel just like that stuffed crow you put up on your shelf My glass eyes are watchful but my feet aren't fit to step My legs are sore from stillness and my back has gone stiff You caught me in mid-flight with my wings outstretched I want you to anchor me just like those docks on the bay At least then when I couldn't move I'd have someone to blame Though I suppose those waves can move just a little bit of sand And in a hundred years or so, I'll wash up on your land
