Ravens Lyrics

Patti Smith

Common fortune seeks us all And slips our binding rings We'll turn our heads and make us reel We'll bare our arms as wings
Before our feet a feather drifts Beyond us it will fall 'Cause time will bid and make us rise Make ravens of us all
My love, he breathed the air of kings Yet fell beneath his luck And in his heart a yearning yet Before his time, time shook
All the gifts that God had given Owned by fate denied Gone to where all treasures laid And where the raven flies
Oh, there are places I agree Where I'm yet to roam The Egyptian field, the Arctic Sea Where shadows haunt and moan
But none but sky I have to go Should I return to thee Gone to where the feather flies to eternity But for a time I got more time till I a raven be
'Cause time will bid and make us rise Make ravens of us all And time will bid and make us fly Make ravens of us all
And time will bid and make us fly Make ravens of us all
