Sentinel Crow Songtext
von Quartette

Caw caw the sentinel crow
He calls out a warning
Caw caw I see a stranger
In the misty morning

Not last night but the night before
A fork fell from the table
Company coming says my ma
You mark my words it′s not some fable
Is it someone from the past
My father's long lost brother
Is it someone from my dreams
The man who′ll someday be my lover

Caw caw the sentinel crow
He calls out a warning
Caw caw I see a stranger
In the misty morning


Out of the mist there came a song
Sweet as a lark in summer
Pots to buy and pots to sell
And pots to mend sang the saucepan drummer
All my life I've heard the rhyme
One crow brings you sorrow
One crow brought me my handsome love
And joy tomorrow and tomorrow

Caw caw the sentinel crow
He calls out a warning
Caw caw I see a stranger
In the misty morning

Call the friends and neighbors in
Like wise a priest to bind us
When the fiddler plays the waltz
It's in each other′s arms you′ll find us

Last night my mother cried
How could he take me from her
Morning comes with no regrets
I'll take to the road with the saucepan drummer

Caw caw the sentinel crow
He calls out a warning
Caw caw I see a stranger
In the misty morning
