Isobel Campbell - The Raven lyrics

rate me

And in the dawning of a day in late September

There came a weeping from outside my chamber door

Weary from fever I rose up, looked out, beheld her

A Raven with a broken wing, yet nothing more

I turned my head the once and bird become a damsel

With lips of cherry, ivory skin and lustrous hair

Opened the doorway wide and smiled for her to enter

None in my lifetime ever seen a beast so rare

Sweet thighs of ruin how I loved her, and I loved her

She muttered low and held me to her infant breast

Deliverance was long and strong as god's my witness

Babylon burning sorrow numbed with each caress

[ Isobel Campbell Lyrics are found on www.songlyrics.com ]

You came and let the night in

You came for you were broken

To hold, to heal, to touch

You needed me too much

And with the meadowlark when all had done their duty

The morning glory vine awoke with dew below

I breathed my last the day the warning bell was knelling

She smoothed her feathers down flew back out my window

You came and let the night in

You came for you were broken

To hold, to heal, to touch

You needed me too much...<br />
