I was just a schoolboy, making a lot of loud noise
Free to make the wrong choice, when nothing really mattered
We were young and scattering crows
Skies were overcast, I was the first one she asked
But I wouldn't be the last, the thunder it shattered
The lightning, scattering crows
I want you yes I do like you don't know
I want you yes I do but you're one of those
Scattering crows
She crossed my heart with her hand, said we can't go there again
Like rain off the roof she ran, all I wanted to do was have her
But she was gone, like a scattering crow
Sometimes I feel like I don't know why, could stare into the fire all night
Faces forming in the light and when I'm looking right at her
The ashes they scattered like crows
I want you yes I do like you don't know
I want you yes I do but you're one of those
Scattering crows
Sometimes they come back, but I know that she won't
I waited for that, for such a long time, a long time ago
My scattering crow
