Cradle to the Crow
From Cradle to Crow: A Soul's Quest for Love and Purpose
Lyrics
How've you been spending these long nights
Asking about the recent experiences during the long nights
I was worrying about you, heard that you're all right
Expressing concern about the person and hearing that they are okay
From the cradle to crow, sitting on the fence
Reflecting on life from birth ("cradle") to death ("crow"), being undecided or neutral
Searching for the reasons, the recompense
Searching for reasons and compensation in life
Hold my sorrows at the door
Keeping personal troubles away, anticipating a better future
I'm waiting on tomorrow, nothing more
Waiting for the next day with no specific expectations
Baby you're the one I'm thinking on
Expressing affection or thoughts towards someone special
Some days are easy but it turns on a pin
Some days are easy, but circumstances can quickly change
Sweeps all before you, draws the damage in
Challenges and difficulties that sweep everything in their path
My mind's a fool when I long for you
Feeling foolish or vulnerable when longing for someone
A river with no reason, a sky with no blue
Using metaphors to describe a confusing and unpredictable state of mind
Hold my sorrows at the door
Keeping personal sorrows aside, still waiting for a better tomorrow
I'm waiting on tomorrow, nothing more
Reiterating the anticipation for a better future with no specific expectations
Baby you're the one I'm still thinking on
Expressing ongoing thoughts or feelings for someone special
I'm sitting by the rails, keeping by the sun
Sitting by the rails, observing life, possibly waiting for something
Falling into winter, soon the summer comes
Transitioning from one season to another, experiencing the cyclical nature of life
Somebody asking where you're heading to
Responding to someone inquiring about the future direction without a clear purpose to run
I see no reason to run
Seeing no reason to escape or avoid the current situation
