Raven Songtext
von Harriet Nauer

So deathly quiet the river runs
So unpredictable a hand with a gun
How deep′s the water
I do not know
I've never been this far
And I think we should go

And flies will cover your walls at night
Flies will cover

Still there′s a sound awake
And in your sleep
It's so familiar the sound
Of human feet

You held my body in your hands
My lungs filled with water
Wilted roses at my feet
Their humble presence made the air
So bittersweet


There's blood by the side of your bed at night
Blood on the souls of my feet
There′s blood by the side of your bed at night
Blood on the souls of my feet
You buried me underneath the willow tree
I still hear your voice during the garden season

There′s blood by the side of your bed at night
Blood on the souls of my feet
There's blood by the side of your bed at night
Blood on the souls of my feet

Still and quiet beneath the tree
Solemnly my soul fell to its knees

And it I grew wings of a black raven
And now I′m moving with the wolverine
I grew wings of a black raven and
Now I'm fearless like a jackal at night

There′s blood by the side of your bed at night
Blood on the souls of my feet
There's blood by the side of your bed at night
Blood on the souls of my feet
You buried me underneath the willow tree
I still hear you voice during the garden season

Flies will cover your walls at night
Flies will cover
