Crows, Ravens & Rooks

I may hesitate to name you as a swan
That glides around the river bend
Enchants us, and is gone
If I did then I could only do it once
For repetition in a love song
Only makes it seem too long

For heaven is a metaphor
The lovers of the world reach for
And truly, you may find the occasional angel

Mostly when we get up there
Far above the city air
All we have for company
Is crows, ravens and rooks
Crows, ravens and rooks

I may hesitate to say that you're the one
When others came before you
More may follow on
If I do then it’s a lie I won't repeat
Exaggeration in a love song
Only makes the truth seem weak

For heaven is a metaphor
The lovers of the world reach for
Truly, you may find the occasional angel
Mostly when we get up there
Far above the city air

All we have for company is crows, ravens and rooks
Crows, ravens and rooks
Crows, ravens and rooks
Crows, ravens and rooks

I may hesitate, to name you as a swan
That glides around the river bend
Enchants us, and is gone
