Common fortune seeks us all   And slips our binding rings   We'll turn our heads and make us reel   We'll bare our arms as wings      Before our feet a feather drifts   Beyond us it will fall   'Cause time will bid and make us rise   Make ravens of us all      My love, he breathed the air of kings   Yet fell beneath his luck   And in his heart a yearning yet   Before his time, time shook      All the gifts that God had given   Owned by fate denied   Gone to where all treasures laid   And where the raven flies      Oh, there are places I agree   Where I'm yet to roam   The Egyptian field, the Arctic Sea   Where shadows haunt and moan      But none but sky I have to go   Should I return to thee   Gone to where the feather flies to eternity   But for a time I got more time till I a raven be      'Cause time will bid and make us rise   Make ravens of us all   And time will bid and make us fly   Make ravens of us all      And time will bid and make us fly   Make ravens of us all
