[Verse 3]
             
I dreamt I saw

               
 you walking
          
up a hillside 

in the snow
             
Casting shadow

              
s on the winte

 
r sky
          
as you stood t

here counting 

crows
             
One for sorrow

 Two for joy
          
Three for girl

s and four for

 boys
             
Five for silve

r, Six for gol

d and
          
Seven for a se

cret never to 

be told
             
There's a bird

 that nests in

side you
          
Sleeping under

neath your ski

n
          
When you open 

up your wings 

to speak
        
I wish you'd l

et me in



[Chorus]
             
All your life 

          
is such a sham

         
e, shame, sham

e
             
All your love 

          
is just a drea

         
m, dream, drea

m


[Bridge]
             
Open up your e

    
yes
              
You can see th

         
e flames, flam

     
es flames
             
of your wasted

    
 life
              
You should be 

              
ashamed


N.C.
You don't want to waste your life, now baby
N.C.
You don't want to waste your life, now darlin'

I walk along t

hese hillsides

 In the summer

 'neath the su

nshine

I am feathered

 by the moonli

ght falling do

wn on me

(repeat 3x)

             
Change, change
