Stranglers - The Raven lyrics

Fly straight with perfection

Find me a new direction

You never realised the things they said

We'll never realise until we're dead

The ebony embittered souls of children

We'll seek another way before too long

But will you stop my wind before I'm gone

And when you find me all alone

Your world has never been my own

And when you find me

And when you find me all alone

Your world has never been my own

My friend you're black and when you fly you're wild

I am white sometimes I behave just like a child

The northern seas are cold but they're our own

We'll sail your southern seas before too long

When I was a viking

My friend he was the raven
