Ravens

I dreamt a palace in the sky

It's silver doors were open wide

And though I longed to see within

I did not dare to go inside

For there were ravens circling all around

Ravens settling darkly to the ground

Staring wishing me away

'Til at last they saw I was not staying

I dreamt of children in a field

Their silver voices filled the sky

And though I longed to dance and play

I did not dare to even try

For there were ravens circling all around

Ravens screaming 'til the joy was drowned

Laughing as they beat their wings

'Til the children had to cease their singing

I dreamt a lover by a lake

His silver arms were open wide

And though i thought my heart would break

I did not sit down by his side

For there were ravens circling in the air

Ravens casting shadows on his hair

Staring down from up above

Who are they to sit and judge our loving
