The Raven
c1996 by Michael JerlingFrom the album In Another Life
Once again it is so cold Once again it is so cold In the gutter name unknown Dressed in someone else's clothes Crying for his lost Lenore On the streets of Baltimore Mother dear, please don't go Mother dear, please don't go The furtive cough, the spot of blood The fever, then the final flood My dark angels leave me here In my madness, in my fear Marry me, my precious child Marry me, my precious child Come away and live with me In a kingdom by the sea We will find the perfect love The raven and the dove On her grave I sleep in the snow On her grave I sleep in the snow There was no shelter from the storm My scribbling could not keep her warm The furtive cough, the spot of blood The fever, then the final flood Once again it is so cold Once again it is so cold With the tolling of the bells Freedom from this earthly hell Longing for his lost Lenore Quoth the raven: Nevermore Nevermore
