Why do you see me and tip your head With questions dark and wild Why do I shiver through my backbone? Because I know, cried the Ravenchild. Why do you call me with that tragic voice Broken and defiled Why does it strangle my heart's ease? Because I feel, cried the Ravenchild. What are you whispering so quiet on my ear Every once in a while What are you showing so rare and sincere? I am happy, cried the Ravenchild. What is this softness, surprising me Gentle, warm and mild What is this longing that catches my breath? That's my heart, cried the Ravenchild.
