I watched the crow
which sat on my knee
I tasted some snow
and was feeling quite free
the feeling lasted not too long
it vanished with the April rain
maybe it was too weak or too strong
I gained no knowledge only pain
then my neighbor Susan fell in love
my good friend Liz planted a tree
instead of peace I killed a dove
which did not really satisfy me
killing might have been the right way
if it's blood, only to blood it fits
by now we almost reached cruel Lady May
and that girl is sure testing out my limits
I panic and need to calm down
like a lake covered with ice
only when the ground is oh so deeply frown
the uneasiness w
I climb quite high
to sink quite low
you're such a fry
never fail to bow
I jump so great
to hit the ground
you're too afraid
to feel it pound
the higher I rise the deeper I sink
flying with all my might just to fall
on my way down I shall recall
that my face is whipped by the wind
it is my bane
it is my boon
my very own lane
between earth and moon
you do not know
poor you, poor fool
don't know the blow
don't know the cool
the higher I rise the deeper I sink
flying with all my might just to fall
on my way down I shall recall
that my face is whipped by the wind
you do not see
what you might miss
flying endlessly
