THE RAVEN

I am the raven have you heard?
Left out in the cold
and what has been taken from me
will be returned seven-fold

I put my trust in that these broken wings might fly
though they were clipped in the mourning
they eclipsed the sunlit sky

This nest feels like forever
and it's a long way to the ground, 
I think I'd rather fall from it
than endure this lonely sound. 

Every little day that passes by me in time, 
sitting on this little branch of my own
Maybe there's someone out there that I could call mine,
Then I won't be alone
Maybe there I'll make my home

I am the raven, roaming to and fro
drinking up the waters as I go
And who's like the raven?
in a house that all claims to be wise owls
What do they know?

I'll return to the one who threw me some breadcrumbs
a kind soul he has been to me
but all the owls in the house where he from
bring a broom and try to sweep me away from thee

The bread of life is food for thought
and each little crumb I've gathered up
has made me healthy enough again to fly

and to the one who threw it to me
despite all the owls in their jealousy
is the one to whom my heart aligns

Every little day that passes by me in time, 
sitting on this little branch of my own
Maybe there's some place out there that I can call mine,
Then I might have a home
Maybe I won't be alone

I am the raven, roaming to and fro
drinking up the waters as I go
And who's like the raven?
in a house that all claims to be wise owls
What do they know?

(solo)

Every little day that passes by me in time, 
sitting on this little branch of my own
Maybe there's someone out there that I can call mine,
Then I won't be alone
Maybe there I'll make my home

I am the raven, roaming to and fro
drinking up the waters as I go
And who's like the raven?
in a house that all claims to be like owls?
What do they know?
 

Caught Up In A Cloud

​

Guard my ship sailing through a storm
take me away from my bed of thorns
where must I go to find my heart? 

My head in a cloud and I'm still earthbound
as I hide amongst the crowd
that watch me walk, 
as I'm caught up in a cloud

Come to my room
I've opened the window for you
Isn't it a beautiful view?
Beautiful like when I'm holding you

Do you want to be raptured?
and unchain your weeping heart?
Let's ride by the light of the sun,
the moon, the stars

Rusty pennies in a wishing well
spend years unnoticed from the wishes they tell
I wonder if anyone's wish came true

My head in a cloud and I'm still earthbound
as the penny would never bow 
or watch me walk
as I'm caught up in a cloud

The flowers are in bloom
sailing down the love tunnel with you
and I'll strum you a song
it won't be long

it won't be long
till we're caught up in a cloud
it won't be long
till we're caught up in a cloud
it won't be long
till we're caught up in a cloud
it won't be long
till we're caught up in a cloud

T-minus we all count down
Climbing into this ship of sound
we lift off feet our feet from the ground
and we will not ever come down

Feels like sleeping and I'm caught up in a cloud
caught up in a castle in the clouds
Feels like I'm dreaming and I'm caught up in a cloud
caught up in a castle in the clouds
