Never Wanted To See Her Go (10/19/04)

The crows are getting darker
They gather in the old oak tree
So they can be closer to my heart
So they can be closer to me
The crows are getting darker

The sky is black with their wings
Hundreds come at twilight
You can hear them talk you can hear them sing

And I don’t know what I’ve done
I miss my darling so
I never wanted to lose her
Never wanted to see her go
I never wanted to lose her
Never wanted to see her go

I’m sure the crows are getting darker
I’ve been watching them from my cell
There’s things I wish I never done
Two things I can never tell

And I don’t know what I’ve done
I miss my darling so
I never wanted to lose her
Never wanted to see her go
I never wanted to lose her
Never wanted to see her go

The crows are getting darker now
Their bodies stark against the sky
When I killed my sweet lover Jeannie
I left my good wife at home to cry

And I don’t know what I’ve done
I miss my darling so
I never wanted to lose her
Never wanted to see her go
I never wanted to lose her
Never wanted to see her go
