The Raven

As the night falls all around me,

black as the raven,

I am silently waiting

for sleep to come.

Through the doors of perception

I am gliding swiftly

To dreams beyond them.

I am not alone.

I have never felt a bond so strong.

You're by my side.

Gave all your love to guide me there.

I have no fear.

I'm not afraid to turn my face

to the light.

It's a fine threaded line

around my pillow

holds me safe through the darkness

till the raven flies.

When I'm torn and helpless

and drawn to the dark side

I have only to feel you

and the raven flies.

You're by my side.

Gave all your love to guide me there.

I'm not afraid to turn my face

To the light
