[Verse 1]
atmospheric river rain’s been passing through
it’s early spring, a rabbit year, sky’s
the limit blue
every kind of green
clouds floating at my feet
and i’m still stirring the same old stew
ruminating, it’s what i do
[Verse 2]
feathers flashing, crow lands nearby
special deliv-ry, pay attention, came all the way down from the sky
thought it was time that we should meet
crow and human, beyond the concrete
communicating eye to eye
all the way down from the sky
[Chorus]
i’m walking where - crows, live oak, and prickly pear -
live in the world,
beyond the concrete
[Verse 3]
sharp old cacti don't mind me
sliding off the trail, outside the lines
where’s that lucky break,
right about now when you need one?
heading straight for those spines
out of the clouds and into the spines
[Verse 4]
wheel's in motion, how's it gonna end ride
no things to hold onto, nothing to hide
crow says "let it go"
watching from the rattlesnake sign
"what's in your head, most of the time
is not on your side"
[Chorus]
i’m falling where - crows, live oak, and prickly pear -
live in the world,
beyond the concrete
[Verse 5]
cactus standing, still not
minding me
rolling down the hill to the live oak tree
from the chaparral, into the woods
still breathing ….. that’s good
maybe time to breathe
more like a tree
in the key of let it be
[Chorus] (2 x)
i'm staying where - crows, live oak, and prickly pear -
live in the world, beyond the concrete
