The Stranglers - The Raven

Fly straight with perfection Find me a new direction You never realised the things they said We'll never realise until we're dead The ebony embittered souls of children We'll seek another way before too long But will you stop my wind before I'm gone And when you find me all alone Your world has never been my own And when you find me And when you find me all alone Your world has never been my own My friend you're black and when you fly you're wild I am white sometimes I behave just like a child The northern seas are cold but they're our own We'll sail your southern seas before too long When I was a viking My friend he was the raven
