The New York Room - Raven lyrics

Raised hedges in the wilting gra** Stalks of broken straw Barren fields and broken gla** Barbed wire fence As day breaks, a white light Shines through the fog The sunrise climbs higher Inside the sky Raven fly, come with me And all the long flocks of black crows Their legions wait in counted rows And with each day their numbers grow Wait here with me in their shadow And when the north wind starts to blow They will take their place and they will show Us all that they wish us to know They will fill the sky, they will steal your soul And as the locusts are swarming You will hear their cry, you will feel their sting And when the season turns to spring The mighty raven spreads his wings And you will hear the beacons sing Come and receive the gifts they bring And in their claws our bodies cling All through the skies their screams will ring
