The Ravens Cry

Darling the night descends like water color
Gray and blue concealed in a charcoal letter
It finds you and the whispers in the dark scream too loud
Words are few the engine curses to fill the void
The stars glare down
Anxious for some worldly praise
Radio plays hums and strings I've never heard before
You sing along

So don't go telling me that you must sleep
My lungs are tired carry me
And though the shadows linger and murmurs escape your dreams
The morning's calling me
But before I leave
I'll kiss you on the cheek

The hour groans our song an unwelcome surprise
And the moon cries out and threatens to shut its light
Candlelight grows in pockets lining on the beach
Drowning out the night
You're quiet now the hour says its time
But I'm so afraid
To let you go and say goodnight
Ravens cry and rise to play with Corvus in the wind
Drowning out the night

So don't go telling me that you must sleep
My lungs are tired carry me
And though the shadows linger and murmurs escape your dreams
The morning's calling me
But before I leave
I'll kiss you on the cheek

Don't dream away stay awake stay awake
Don't dream away
Don't dream away stay awake stay awake
Don't dream away
Don't dream away stay awake stay awake
Don't dream away

So don't go telling me that you must sleep
My lungs are tired carry me
And though the shadows linger and murmurs escape your dreams
The morning's calling me
But before I leave
