lyrics

Oh, Raven, where did you go?
did you leave with the joy-wind when it did go?
Oh, Raven, I knew you before
before we were sun-stroked, before we were broke
when the first heart laid down we held it to ours
we reached from the mountain we reached from the stars
then we did place it in webs of gray dew
for the first sun to dry it, the first beak to sing through
then further than sadness, our knowledge spread out
from origin to origin and back right now
Oh, Raven I wish you were right here
you know it’s the hardest time of the year
Oh, Raven won’t you report back
with hope-light
shining from the black
