The Raven Waits


Print songSend correction to the songSend new songfacebooktwitterwhatsapp

Like a scene from a horror show,

there's a raven tapping at you window

Rain is falling flooding in the hedgerow,

your mind is screaming flapping

like its wings now

Is this an omen something that you don't know,

or is it time to reap the seeds you sow


What you see is what you get

You aint seen nothing yet


When you were a child you played with time,

and everything you did was fine

The light would shine out of your eyes

The monsters turned into butterflies,

in your mind


What you see is what you get

You aint seen nothing yet


But oh, time is much older now

and the dreams what do they mean


What you see is what you get

You aint seen nothing yet


And so is this goodbye now

To the friends that you've known

and the toys that you've owned

In your life

As the raven waits on the pearly gates

and the soul inside hesitates


What you see is what you get

You aint seen nothing yet

What you see is what you get

You aint seen nothing yet

What you see is what you get

You aint seen nothing yet
