It began with line dancing
A dance I didn't know at all
The onrush of two times chancing
Ecstasy before the certain fall
One crow to a tree
It's my ache to be with you
It's my ache to be with me
One crow to a tree
We strayed to secretive engagements
Between the timeless telephone calls
All too brief, the visiting arrangements
Ecstasy before the certain fall
Two crows to a tree
It's heaven just seeing you
It's heaven just seeing me
Two crows to a tree
One Sunday morning in the meadow
You had to say, but first you stalled
I was joyful, you were somewhat slow
Ecstasy before the certain fall
Three crows to a tree
The dream of sharing him with you
The dream of sharing him with me
Three crows to a tree
Others overloaded the compartments
Pushed about to let the wagons roll
A boat to a house and garden
Ecstasy before the certain fall
A flock of crows to a tree
It's not easy living with yours
It's not easy living with mine
A flock of crows to a tree
It ended by your fancying
You didn’t need me as a lover at all
The pointlessness of just friendship
Exasperation before the curtain call
One crow to a tree
It's not that I am not with you
It's that you were not with me
One crow to a tree
