Isobel Campbell - The Raven lyrics

And in the dawning of the 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 turn my head the once and bird become a damsel With lips of cherry, ivory skin and lustrous hair Open 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 helped me to her infant breasts Deliverance was long and strong as God's my witness Babylon burning sorrow known with each caress 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 but you were broken To hold, to heal, to touch You needed me too much You came and let the night in You came for you were broken To hold, to heal, to touch You needed me too much You came and let the night in You came for you were broken To hold, to heal, to touch You needed me too much
