Crows, Ravens & Rooks - David Rotheray, Kathryn Williams

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
