D#m     C#          G#
Golden days are so far away
          D#m    C#       G#
There's a black wave up above
D#m         C#              G#
Out on the wind you hear a crow
      D#m          C#           G#
She's under your skin and you drift away

Chorus:
     D#m
She spreads her wings
            C#             G#
when she's gonna fly, the crow
       D#m
If you make her sing
            C#                      G#
when she's coming she will let you know

Her frozen hand takes your breath away
As she leads your soul through the dark
You know that she came to break your heart
But oh, when she moves, you fall in love again

Chorus:
She spreads her wings
When she's gonna fly
The Crow
If you make her sing
When she's coming
She will let you know
She spreads her wings
And they black out the sun
You won't hear her sing
And she'll leave when the damage is done

      D#m         C#          G#
Cold heart, warm gun, a dying sun
       D#m          C#           G#
Bright eyes, black soul, she'll never let you go

Chorus:
She spreads her wings
When she's gonna fly
The Crow
If you make her sing
When she's coming
She will let you know
She spreads her wings
And they black out the sun
You won't hear her sing
And she'll leave when the damage is done
