Shiny things

The things a crow puts in his nest
They are always things he finds that shine best
Somehow they´ll find a shiny dime, a silver twine
From a Valentine
The crows all bring them shiny things
Leave me alone you big ol´ Moon
The light you cast is just a liar
You´re like the crows, ´cos if it glows
You´re dressed to go, you guessed I know
You´ll always cling to shiny things
We´ll, I´m not dancing here tonight
But things are bound to turn around
Though the only I want that shines is to be king
Here in your eyes
To be your only shiny thing
They are always things he finds that shine best
Somehow they´ll find a shiny dime, a silver twine
From a Valentine
The crows all bring them shiny things
Leave me alone you big ol´ Moon
The light you cast is just a liar
You´re like the crows, ´cos if it glows
You´re dressed to go, you guessed I know
You´ll always cling to shiny things
We´ll, I´m not dancing here tonight
But things are bound to turn around
Though the only I want that shines is to be king
Here in your eyes
To be your only shiny thing
