The Tall Grass Counting Crows

"Come outside," she said to me
As if I knew just what she'd say
"Come outside, we'll watch tomorrow
Pull the curtain on today"
"Come outside into the tall grass
And the old corn and the shit
Come outside, o child
Into the wild and weep for it"
And all along I know I don't know the why

And it takes me through the meadows
And I have got a rifle on my arm
And the rabbit won't stop shaking
But the life is gone
And there is blood upon the clover
And, oh god, his eyes are open wide
Staring up at me and infinity
And the shrinking English sky
And all along I tell myself I don't know thе why
And as the idea ossifies
I can't bеlieve it's mine

I make a change
He is wordless and silent and
He says "Just close my eyes"
"I have one eye open to the rain
And one pressed to the ground again
And I don't know why
And I don't know why
And I don't know why"
No, they don't know why
No, they don't know why
No, they don't know, don't know, don't know, don't know, know
