Counting Crows - Murder of One [HQ]

Lyrics:

Blue morning, blue morning,
Wrapped in strands of fist and bone
Curiosity, Kitten,
Doesn't have to mean you're on your own
You can look outside your window,
He doesn't have to know
We can talk a while, baby,
We can take it nice and slow

All your life,
Is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love,
Is just a dream, dream, dream

Are you happy where you're sleeping?
Does he keep you safe and warm?
Does he tell you when youre sorry?
Does he tell when youre wrong?
Well I've been watching you for hours
It's been years since we were born
We were perfect when we started,
I've been wondering where we've gone

All your life,
Is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love,
Is just dream, dream, dream

Well I dreamt I saw you walking,
Up a hillside in the snow
Casting shadows on the winter sky,
As you stood there, counting crows

One for sorrow, two for joy,
Three for girls, and four for boys,
Five for silver, six for gold,
Seven for a secret, never to be told

There's a bird that nests inside you,
Sleeping underneath your skin
Yeah, when you open up your wings to speak,
I wish you'd let me in

All your life,
Is such a shame, shame, shame
All your love,
Is just a dream, dream, dream
Open up your eyes,
You can see the flames, flames, flames
Of your wasted life
You should be ashamed

You don't wanna waste your life, baby
You don't wanna waste your life, now, darling
You don't wanna waste your life, baby
You don't wanna waste your life, now, darling
You don't wanna waste your life, baby
I said you don't wanna waste your life, now, darling
You don't wanna waste your life, now, baby
You don't wanna, you dont wanna waste your life, now, darling

Change, change, change
Change, change, change
Change, change, change

I walk along these hillsides in the summer, 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight, falling down on me
I said I walk along these hillsides in the summer, 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight, falling down on me
I said I will walk along these hillsides in the summer, 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight, falling down on me
I said I will walk along these hillsides in the summer, 'neath the sunshine
I am feathered by the moonlight

Change, change, change
Change, change, change, yeah
Change, change, change
Oh, change, change
Yeah!
Oh, change, change, change
Whoa, change, change, change
Change, change,
change, change,
change, change,
change, change, change

In my opinion, one of the best albums of all time. Only a handful of albums can you start on track one and listen to the entire thing straight through and not skip tracks. Adam Duritz is an amazingly talented songwriter and they are even better live than they are on their CDs. One of the very few musical performers who never "sold out" to become more mainstream, they have stayed true to themselves and to the music they want to make.

@bullgraham23 It's about penguins.

@RomanCaine Bonus points for cursing right proper.

@irishpride630 I realize this comment is almost a year old, but I felt compelled to reply. Don't pussy out by saying "In my opinion...," make a statement. August and Everything After is one of the greatest albums of all time. Anyone who doesn't feel something (whether love or hate, joy or rage, whatever), after hearing it, simply does not have a soul. That is a gorram fact.

This has given me the courage to sit on the toilet. I gathered the courage, sat down.. and had a major epiphany. That Scrubs is the best show ever.

@looder22 PENGUINS are very rock n roll!!!!!!
