And in the dawning of the day
In late September
There came a weeping
From outside my chamber door.
Weary from fever I rose up,
Looked out, beheld her
A Raven with a broken wing
Yet nothing more.
I turn my head the once
And bird become a damsel
With lips of cherry,
Ivory skin and
Lustrous hair.
Open the doorway wide
And smiled for her to enter.
None in my lifetime
Ever seen a beast so rare.
Sweet thighs of ruin
How I loved her, and I loved her.
She muttered low and
Helped me to her infant breasts.
Deliverance was long and strong
As God's my witness.
Babylon burning sorrow
Known with each caress.
You came
And let the night in.
You came
For you were broken
To hold, to heal, to touch
You needed me too much.
And with the meadowlark
When all had done their duty
The morning glory vine
Awoke with dew below.
I breathed my last the day
The warning bell was knelling.
She smoothed her feathers down,
Flew back out my window.
You came
And let the night in.
You came
But you were broken
To hold, to heal, to touch
You needed me too much.
You came
And let the night in.
You came
For you were broken
To hold, to heal, to touch
You needed me too much.
