about

Call it "murder folk," "gothic Americana," or just plain creepy, "Two Crows" is a gleefully dark meditation on age, longing, and the place where every road ends. It is the first single from The Long Farewells' "High Water or Hell" EP, due out May 28 on Beartrap Spring records.

lyrics

Two crows shy of a murder
Three walls short of a home
I got the foresight to see when Death comes for me
he’ll have five fingers made out of bone

I’m a sixpack none the richer
I’m the seventh son of a seventh bride
I spent eight days a week not finding what I seek
But a switchblade in time saves nine

You’re the one, you’re the one, you’re the one, you’re the one
You’re the one, you’re the one, you’re the one, you’re the one

Eleven ain’t nothing but a snake-eyes
Twelve angry men with a noose
I ain’t never seen thirteen be so goddamn mean
as a fortnight away from you

Twenty was the age that I left home
Thirty are the years I been gone
Forty used to seem so old, but fifty feels so cold
and sixty seconds never seemed so long

You’re the one, you’re the one, you’re the one, you’re the one
You’re the one, you’re the one, you’re the one, you’re the one

Two crows shy of a murder
Three walls short of a home
I got the foresight to see when Death comes for me
he’ll have five fingers made out of bone
