Crow on the Steeple

[Verse]
There's a crow on the steeple and he's watchin' me
Since the night they hung Eli from the willow tree
Mama burned the letters, Daddy dug the hole
But that black bird knows where they put his soul
[Chorus]
Crow on the steeple, don't you call my name
I ain't the one who lit the flame
Fly back to the hollow where the dead men lay
Crow on the steeple, go away
[Verse]
Every Sunday morning when the choir sings
I can hear the rustle of his midnight wings
Preacher's got a secret and the town's got three
But the crow on the steeple only stares at me
[Chorus]
Crow on the steeple, don't you call my name
I ain't the one who lit the flame
Fly back to the hollow where the dead men lay
Crow on the steeple, go away
[Outro]
Go away... go away
