An old crow spoke to me Must have lain limp down the street Said we're both tied to our own trees Cut me loose, cut me loose
Saw the deer before it saw me It didn't change anything His glassy eyes showed me what's to come Cut me loose, spare me from this
Little beast, are you as me? Left some teeth in your enemies We won't be broken There's no curse we haven't spoken There is no oath, there is no spell To deliver us, to make us well
Old woman, tell me why did you lie so long In your hospital bed with the spark gone from your eyes? We both know there's nowhere to go Let's cast off, you and I
Oh, grief, are you as me? Left some teeth buried in your enemies We won't be broken Theres no curse we haven't spoken There is no oath, there is no spell To deliver us, so help
Cut me loose, I wish you well No oath, no spell No prayer and no hell but the one we made Let's cast off, turn tail
