Old Crow

There once was a queen they called an old crow
Never walked a step in the daylight I know
As the years kept sleeping she never grows old
Never walked a step on the side of the road
Never wanted to count all the candles I'm told
Never lied to a stranger in the cold cold cold
There once was a queen they called an old crow

There once was a boy who lived all alone
Never walked a step in the shadows I'm told
As the years kept slipping he wants to go home
Never made it out to a local county fair
Never picked up the phone to tell you he cares
Never wants to be here only there, there, there
There once was a boy who lived all alone

Late at night where the neon burns bright
And the street starts to bustle beneath the pale moon light
There once was a queen who said alright
I'm going to take me out to a local county fair
I'm gonna pick up the phone and tell you I care
I'm gonna leave it all behind till I know that I'm there
There once was queen who said I care

At the first sign of light where the shadows grow long
There once was a boy who said I know
I can only make a change if I just let go
I'm gonna follow in the steps of those before
A well worn path with only one door
With a light left on to remind me I'm home
There once was a boy who said I know

In the noon day sun where the shadows grow alone
A street fiddle playing a lonesome song
Where boy and a crow they stumbled upon
It hit him first but it didn't take long
The queen started tapping and singing along
They both ended up in each other's arms

There once was a boy who lived all alone
