Raven Lyrics

Raven

Words and music by Anke Summerhill

The raven’s cry is calling me
Across the silver sky
I see her black wings shine
She circles slowly overhead

The wind caught in her wings
Beneath the soft moonlight
She must be on an endless flight
Her journey to the sun

She flies in distant solitude
Her spirals ever higher
Above the desert floor
Her secrets are unknown to me
The raven soars

The wind whispers, “Forever more”
She’s rising with the moon tonight
The keeper of the stars
Raven, won’t you take me with you
My desire’s to be lost in the endless blue

The raven’s cry is calling me
Across the silver sky
I see her black wings shine
She circles slowly overhead
The wind caught in her wings

Beneath the soft moonlight
She must be on an endless flight
Her journey to the sun
She’s rising with the moon tonight
The keeper of the stars
