Rain Crow - Tony Joe White

There’s wondering about the shadow

Keeps crossing your path

Don’t look nothing like you but I’m afraid to ask

I was thinking about your bad dream

Is it still under your cover

Or flying around like a snake doctor

Wanting to be your lover

Rain crow

I’ve seen you walking in a hard rain

Nothing over your head

And you smile just like it’s a sunny day

Is it something the thunder bed said

Rain crow

Rain crows calling

He was always by your side

He is never seen

But you hear his lonesome cry
