The song is (according to David) about death...The symbol of the crow is very much representative of this also...

At night, with a drink, low lights..... this track is just beautiful....

I remember listening to this album one winter's evening years ago, the open fire was roaring, just the light of the flames, and me and my wife of just a few months. This album just encapsulated the whole moment, and gave me a memory which will last forever. Very talenetd people, amazing album :-)

@Danthehorse well, i've dunnit already with a botle of vodka and lots of valium, barely made out of it alive. Those were some Dark days... I regret it now but i have to admit that it was a great way to go.

Native american indian on the journey back home is the idea behind the song.

The crow, or black crow, is one symbol. For example, its the symbol of Lisbon. And yes, Lisbon have the black light wich is the most amazing clarity fot the soul. Its the city of light, not Paris. :)

this song at least to me ... i

s about black tar heroin

[1yellowapple]

is it just me or is this just amazing?

[LantaGem]

I know this beautiful song is many years old... but listening to it now, in the wake of Mick Karn's untimely death, just adds a new layer of wistful sadness to the lyrics :(
