As The Raven Flies
Dan Fogelberg · Triple Feature [2009]
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
She'll bring you stories
That just never sound true
She'll bring you secrets
That were never meant for you.
And just as you come round
She'll send you back through
She's in love with you
She's in love with you
Darker, darker
Don't let her talk her way
Into you
Lonely, lonely.
You know she's only
No good for you.
I see the raven's made
Her nest in your eyes
She's got you thinking that
Her love is a prize
And you'll go under from
The weight of her lies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
As the raven flies
