Paul Schwartz - Ravens lyrics

I dreamt a palace in the sky It's silver doors were open wide And though I longed to see within I did not dare to go inside For there were ravens circling all around Ravens settling darkly to the ground Staring wishing me away 'Til at last they saw I was not staying I dreamt of children in a field Their silver voices filled the sky And though I longed to dance and play I did not dare to even try For there were ravens circling all around Ravens screaming 'til the joy was drowned Laughing as they beat their wings 'Til the children had to cease their singing I dreamt a lover by a lake His silver arms were open wide And though i thought my heart would break I did not sit down by his side For there were ravens circling in the air Ravens casting shadows on his hair Staring down from up above Who are they to sit and judge our loving
