Company

[Verse:]
The King of the crows came into my room
He sat on the bed and said "Look at the Moon
You know the Moon is sick, she hasn't a chance
Unless we find the garden where stone lords dance"

[Verse:]
"It takes a child like you, one of your kind
With a willing spirit and an open mind
It takes a bird like me, a crow or a rook
But don't ask me why—I didn't write this book!"

[Verse:]
The King of the crows came into my room
He sat on the bed and said "Look at the Moon
You know the Moon is sick, she hasn't a chance
Unless we find the garden where stone lords dance"

[Verse:]
But the King of the crows tells terrible lies
He speaks more crooked than the way he flies
He's fond of me, I'm glad he comes by
And when I'm big enough he says he'll teach me to fly

[Chorus:]
Daddy draws pictures of all kinds of things
Mama does plenty, but she mostly sings
She sings to me sometimes, helps me to sleep
She'd be surprised to learn about the company I keep...

[Verse:]
There are creatures that live in the corners of rooms
My mama can't see them but she knows I do
She says "What's so funny, that I can't see?"
The creature in the corner's pulling faces at me

[Chorus:]
My daddy draws all kinds of things
Mama does plenty, but she mostly sings
She sings to me sometimes, helps me to sleep
She'd be surprised to learn about the company I keep...

[Verse:]
I may not have mastered your language yet
But I'd like to tell you everything before I forget
Although I can't say much, I understand more
For now there's the crows and the creatures in the corners of the room—

[Chorus:]
Daddy draws all kinds of things
Mama does plenty, but she mostly sings
She sings to me sometimes, helps me to sleep
She'd be surprised to learn about the company I keep

She'd be surprised to learn about the company I keep
She'd be surprised to learn about the company I keep...
