about

Dedicated to my wife, who has ever supported me in my craft and been a source of inspiration and adventure.

lyrics

Hair Like a Crow
I was a dragon in his cave
Hording jewels and maids
An epiphany on the breeze
Directed you to me
You crawled into my lair
You didn’t know what you’d find there
I opened up my wings
To protect you, pretty thing
You soon became my star
I hope you never stray too far

Hair like a crow
Cheeks as soft as snow
Your being is aglow
I want you to know
I love you
I love you

I was a cynic in his room
Living only for my doom
In the town I was a fool
A drunken soldier escaped from rule
Always on the lam
Untouched by softer hands
But a flower on the road
Seduced my senses back to home
I stood and watched a while,
Waiting to kiss her with my smile
Hair like a crow
Cheeks as soft as snow
Your being is aglow
I want you to know
I love you
I love you

Bending in the breeze
We fell together to our knees
When her petals touched my skin
I loosed my hold and soon gave in
To a comforting embrace
The sweet softness of her face
Now I find beauty in the things
At which slander I used to fling
I stand so proud and tall,
Against the strength of her, my wall

Hair like a crow
Cheeks as soft as snow
Your being is aglow
I want you to know
I love you
I love you
