Story behind the song
Right around the time when I was really starting to get into my Catholic faith, I had a friend who just seemed stuck in a rut with his faith, claiming he believed but doing nothing to act on it. I wrote this song in his voice. The black crow imagery came to me as I drove back and forth from the Washington, DC, area out to Steubenville, OH, often. I'd see all the birds up on the telephone wires. The relation between them just sitting there and my friend in his rut.
Lyrics
I'm sitting here like a black crow on a wire, Watching the world roll by down below. In the freezing wind and the pouring rain, I hope and pray that I'll fly again. I'm just sitting here like a black crow on a wire. I know it's hard, yeah, I know it's not that easy To change the path you've been stumbling down for so long. Just when I think I can turn over a new leaf, Everything that felt right is suddenly wrong. Now I've heard it said that love is forever. I've been waiting here forever and a day. I can see your love has been here all along, now But before, I couldn't see the forest through the trees.
