A song for the book 'Hungry Crow Babies' by Daria Hilton

Lyrics

Chorus

Morrigan walks through rainbow streets

Laughter and smoke in the air she breathes

Promises swirl and unravel with ease

Never noticed the crows in the sycamore trees

Post-Chorus

La la la, wings on the wire

La la la, climbing higher

Verse 2

Salt in the fog and a new world blooms

Bottles and pills traded under half moons

Never planning for knocks she can’t see

Black feathers gather where her footsteps have been

Pre-Chorus

Words on the wind, and the birds know her name

Logic dissolves like wax in the rain

Chorus

Morrigan walks through rainbow streets

Laughter and smoke in the air she breathes

Promises swirl and unravel with ease

Never noticed the crows in the sycamore trees

Post-Chorus

La la la, wings on the wire

La la la, climbing higher

Bridge

Silver-eyed watchers perched out of sight

Calling her name in the half-truth of night

Questions she never remembered to ask

Fold into riddles that slip through the cracks

Chorus

Morrigan listens, the city tilts wild

Crows paint new maps where the old streets compiled

Agreements unmade as the boundaries bend

She steps through the shimmer, unknowing again

Post-Chorus

La la la, wings on the wire

La la la, climbing higher

Post-Chorus

La la la, wings on the wire

La la la, climbing higher
