The Raven's Sun Lyrics

The Raven’s Sun

I got my work all done, Now I can run with the Raven’s sun Spend all my days, watch the river run To the sea, to the sea

Somehow I fell for you You know my heart is just a faithless fool You’re so good but it can’t be true You got a love of your own

I can’t ask to be forgiven anymore It’s time to even the score Well, I always wanted more than I had You know more of me than anyone can see Well, it’s time for me to leave Find a love of my own

So I cleaned up my act Took the piles of bills and I paid the tax Let the rain roll down my back Wash away all my sin

You don’t call these days it’s just as well ‘cause I am on my way To where my open heart can safely lay Among the reeds and the rushes

I got my work all done, Now I can run with the Raven’s sun Spend all my days, watch the river run To the sea, to the sea…

Don’t Call Me Stranger

If you see me in the crowd and you’re too scared to call out Give me a sign, give me sign And I’ll come round

Don’t call me stranger, don’t call me lover We’re always somewhere in between Never could give your secrets up to me

You learned to whisper, little sister But you said nothing to me I couldn’t hear what you say, what you mean

Don’t call me stranger, don’t call me lover We’re always somewhere in between Never could give your secrets up to me

Chorus: Our armour’s bound to rust Will our hearts fall to the dust How I’d love to know What you’re keeping from us Don’t call me stranger, don’t call me lover We’re always somewhere in between Never could give your secrets up to me Tell Me Luella

Tell me Luella, tell me where have you gone Tell me Luella, tell me where have you gone Are you walking that golden highway home? Are you walking that golden highway home?

The toughest little gal to ever leave the Prairies She traveled East to watch the rising sun She’s left us now and she ain’t coming back this way She’s left us now and she ain’t coming back this way

The last time that I saw her she was smiling Looked like she had one last game to play I waved goodbye, said I’d be back tomorrow I waved goodbye, said I’d be back tomorrow

Tell me Luella, tell me where have you gone Tell me Luella, tell me where have you gone Are you walking that golden highway home? Are you walking that golden highway home?

No one knew for certain she was leaving But somehow each of us did know When the ﬂood is coming you head for higher ground When the ﬂood is coming you head for higher ground

Tell me Luella, tell me where have you gone Tell me Luella, tell me where have you gone Are you walking that golden highway home? Are you walking that golden highway home?

Gone Too Soon

Gone too soon, gone too soon Left with the harvest and the waning moon They tried hard to save you but it couldn’t be done God was calling home his son

What of the ones left behind? Who’ll sing him to sleep when Johnny’s crying? What of the ones left behind? A kiss on the cheek and a wave goodbye

Gone too soon, gone too soon Left with the harvest and the waning moon You’re sweet young wife with your baby stands Dirt from your grave falls from her hand

What of the ones left behind? Who’ll sing him to sleep when Johnny’s crying What of the ones left behind? A kiss on the cheek and a wave goodbye

Gone too soon, gone too soon Left with the harvest and the waning moon Gone too soon, gone too soon Left with the harvest and the waning moon

Jack’s Song

Gotta watch your footing, Gotta watch your speed Gotta watch the way that you make their hearts bleed Did you even know you were playing that game? It’s time to take a break from that same, same, same

You’re not getting any younger They’re not cutting you no slack. You got to own what you did Cause you can not take it back.

You’ve been burning bridges while trying to break bread You’ve been lying down with those thoughts in your head Can feel the storm a’coming, it’s been coming for days You’ve been making friends with those south city strays

You’re not getting any younger They’re not cutting you no slack, Jack. You got to own what you did Cause you can not take it back.

Before, my eyes were blinded, I couldn’t see a thing I was handing out all those diamond rings Stolen from my captors, borrowed from my friends When the darkness came, yeah, I could ﬁnally see the end

You’re not getting any younger They’re not cutting you no slack. You got to own what you did Cause you can not take it back.

You’re not getting any younger They’re not cutting you no slack, Jack. You got to own what you did Cause you can not take it back.

Beneath The Lindens

I draw the outline of a tree and I see memories of me As a young girl in a small town, underneath the Linden trees I drew pictures, I wrote poems, I spent all my time alone ‘neath the Lindens in the graveyard, close by my mother’s home

Well my voice it had a closed door, there was a closed door to my heart I liked the quiet of my own time, liked the view from far apart But you saw me in the shadows, and you brought me to the light And I listened as you taught me all the new things I could like

There were ﬂowers on the graves There were lost and there were saved There were days upon endless days Beneath the Lindens

I found clarity and strength in the pages I would write And I found I had my own thoughts, that yours weren’t always mine So I went back to the shadows of a winter in my home And you watched my every move from behind the grave stone

Well, you fought to keep me with you, and I fought to stay alone And though my childhood was ending, I wasn’t ready to let it go Bees in springtime look for nectar, how the sweetness ﬁlls the well Leaves you empty when it’s gone, ’til you ﬁnd it in yourself

And there were ﬂowers on the graves There were lost and there were saved There were days upon endless days Beneath the Lindens There were ﬂowers on the graves There were lost and there were saved There were days upon endless days Beneath the Lindens Rushing Winding Wind

All this rushing, winding wind, it’s rolling round me I can’t see where to begin, it’s turning round me I feel the surge of spring within my bones It’s changing everything I’ve come to know I can’t tell just where to start with this cloud around my heart In this rushing, winding wind that’s turning round me

Well, I traveled to the sun and I came back here To the blinding of the moon and the dark years All the things I didn’t know I learned and then The wind made me forget them again I can’t tell just where to start with this cloud around my heart In this rushing, winding wind that’s turning round me

You brought the light into the dark and the sound of laughter The joy back to my heart, what I was after And though you may not know just what you did You sheltered me from all that northeast wind And though it comes again, I have found a friend In this rushing, winding wind that’s rolling round me And though it comes again, I have found a friend In this rushing, winding wind that’s turning round me

And though it comes again, I have found a friend In this rushing, winding wind that’s rolling round me

Left On My Own

Left on my own I might sail off forever Spend all my days in the waves of a dream And if you would, dear, I might take you with me Singing the songs of oceans and streams

But it really doesn’t matter, watch the stars Idle chatter between bars. I want to know where the sun goes.

I wake to the sound of birds at my window Somedays I know just how lucky I am And somedays I drown at the sound of a raindrop Somedays I hear your voice calling my name

But it really doesn’t matter, watch the stars Idle chatter between bars. I want to know where the sun goes.

Time it keeps rolling and I get nothing done I watch as the sun sinks slowly down If you could give me a diamond poem Take up my hand and turn me ‘round.

But it really doesn’t matter, watch the stars Idle chatter between bars. I want to know where the sun goes.

No it really doesn’t matter, watch the stars Idle chatter between bars. I want to know where the sun goes.

Left on my own I might sail off forever Spend all my days in the waves of a dream

Frost In The Hollows

Frost is in the hollows, An eagle on the wind Another season ended, Another one begins

Head out on the road soon Pack my bags and go And hope i can return to My little mountain home

My little mountain home through the trees Shining like the moon on a silver breeze

Berries all in jars now, The lighting of the ﬁres The sun it sets so early A heart worn by desire

Secrets have their wings now The truth it has been freed It’s time to dim the lights somehow on certain memories.

My little mountain home through the trees Shining like the moon on a silver breeze

Hold On

Hold on one more night, I know it’s been long, long time But if you do, you might ﬁnd You feel the sun on your face one more time

Hold on one more day You’ve lived a lonesome, weary way And if you do, you might ﬁnd That suddenly the world is kind And you can stop time

No one ever said it would be easy Nothing in this life comes for free I will do my best to try and catch you When you’re falling away from me

I know it’s hard just to live When shadows cover up the light that was given But if you do, you might ﬁnd The light shines through

There’s no shame in crying out When you know that you need some help So give me some of the weight And let me hold for you all I can take And give your heart a break

No one ever said it would be easy Nothing in this life comes for free I will do my best to try and catch you When you’re falling away from me

Winter Spring

Open up the door, drop the keys to the ﬂoor It’s been a long day Turn the sheets down on the bed, I’ve got nothing left to give It’s been a long day

When cherry blossoms are blooming in the West The East is blanketed in snow to rest Just a little longer now ’til Spring will come around Just a little longer now

Let’s just stay in bed the sun ain’t risen yet, It’s a new day There’s so much left to do but I’d rather stay with you On this new day

If bears can sleep through these longest winter days It’s only fair that we can do the same Just a little longer now ’til Spring will come around Just a little longer now

Cold toes in the morn, light the ﬁre, watch the storm It’s a snow day Don’t wake the girl up yet, let her sleep there in her bed It’s a snow day

So maybe I like this softly falling snow When winds change and then we don’t have to go For just a little longer now ’til Spring will come around Just a little longer now Just a little longer now ’til Spring will come around Just a little longer now
