Artist/Band: Patti Smith
Lyrics for Song: Ravens
Lyrics for Album: Original Album Classics [2010]



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 gave

and those by fate denied

gone to where all treasures laid

and where the raven flies



oh there are places I agree

where I have 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 all 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
