Isobel Campbell & Mark Lanegan - The Raven lyrics

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 the elder 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 smile for her to enter Not in my lifetime 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 breast 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 had done their duty The morning glory lying awoke with dew below I breathed my last the day the warning bell was knelling She smoothed her feathers down and flew back out my window (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 (You came) And let the night in (You came) For you were broken (To hold) To heal, to touch (You needed me) Too much
