The Raven's Sun | Catherine MacLellan
The Raven's Sun by Catherine MacLellan, released 19 August 2014
THE RAVENβS SUN
I got my work all done,
Now I can run with the Ravenβs sun
Spend all my days, watch the river run
To the sea, to the sea
Somehow I fell for you
You know my heart is just a faithless fool
Youβre so good but it canβt be true
You got a love of your own
I canβt ask to be forgiven anymore
Itβs time to even the score
Well, I always wanted more than I had
You know more of me than anyone can see
Well, itβs time for me to leave
Find a love of my own
So I cleaned up my act
Took the piles of bills and I paid the tax
Let the rain roll down my back
Wash away all my sin
You donβt call these days
itβs just as well βcause I am on my way
To where my open heart can safely lay
Among the reeds and the rushes
I canβt ask to be forgiven anymore
Itβs time to even the score
Well, I always wanted more than I had
You know more of me than anyone can see
Well, itβs time for me to leave
Find a love of my own
I got my work all done,
Now I can run with the Ravenβs sun
Spend all my days, watch the river run
To the sea, to the seaβ¦
