Let Me Lie And Bleed Awhile

You know this is a good place
A seemly place to summer
But you should find another
Another one to winter

For I am like a chimney
A chimney in the snow
White as any lily
Yet blacker than the coal

There's a raven on the gable, a raven on the gable
A raven on the gable, so brazenly crowing

But you know he only crows so, you know he only crows so
You know he only crows so, for he knows no other way of crowing

So my tongue is not the one
You are scolded and o'erlulled in
But the one that I was schooled in
Is the only one I know

That's why you hear me crowing
"My love, you should be going,"
That's why you hear me crowing
"You should be on your way."

So loosen off your mooring, loosen off your mooring
Loosen off your mooring, and sail, sail away

Let me lie and bleed awhile, let me lie and bleed a while
Let me lie and bleed awhile, I will rise and fight again

Let me lie and bleed awhile, let me lie and bleed a while
Let me lie and bleed awhile, I will rise and fight again
