If I Was A Raven
Music by Caoimhe
If I was a raven with eyes black as nightmares
With eyes sharp as needles, I’d not be denied
I’d follow, I’d find you, I’d wrap you in darkness
And curse you, my sweetness, if I found you’d lied.
My love is an ocean as deep as black midnight
All swelling and crashing and turned by the tide
But nothing can live here if you are not by me
So curse you, sweet darling, if your heart has lied
No freedom, no movement, no measure without you
Upon you depends all my honour and pride
I’ve nothing without you; I need you beside me
So curse you, my angel, if you ever lied
If I was a raven with wings black as nightmares
With eyes sharp as needles, I’d search low and high
As deep as my need is, so much as I love you
Curse you, my brightness, if your love’s a lie
