lyrics

Caws caw at the break of dawn
Who knows what the crows know?
Scarcely scattered in the sounds
Found aground where the mushrooms grow

Maybe, maybe...
...something we’ve forgotten
Maybe, maybe...
...something we’ve never known

In the mists where the stories weave
Strange scenes in a tapestry
Drifting dancing in between
The silver shadow of the moon
And the golden dawn’s sunbeam

Maybe, maybe…
…something we’ve forgotten
Maybe, maybe…
…something we never learned

Tangled locks, wrangled hoary dreams
Sketched in the book of strange scenes
Riddle-written in the gloom
Before morning’s pink blossom clouds begin to bloom

Maybe, maybe…
…something we’ve forgotten
Maybe, maybe…
…something we’ll never know

On the stumps where the mushrooms grow
Around the ground leaves’ colors change
Every day never the same
Who knows what the crows know?
