“The Sharks and the Crows” is a very early song created by Woodkid. This song is describing the adventures of two lifelong friends, and eventually ends in the regrettable, but inevitable separation of the two.
[Verse 1: Woodkid]
We took the train on Sundays
We climbed the highest mountains
It's like we've seen every part of the planet
I said I'd bring you everywhere
Seems like I kept my promise
That's what you deserve, my friend
[Verse 2]
We drew our names in the snow
Crossed oceans on a sailboat
We were two kids that
Never wanted to grow old
We've played the most dangerous games
Enjoyed books of Henry Chance
Exchanged the blood from our veins
[Verse 3]
We had been on our knees
We've drunk the strongest whiskeys
We've lived much more than we expected to live
Sure, things could have been better
My friends have all started to whisper
And you have wives and children
[Verse 4: Woodkid]
We were friends on the river
We celebrate life together
Something tells me that we won't live forever
We've seen the stars and the smoke
And the sharks and the crows
That's why I miss you, you know?
