The Raven

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
