His blood on my arm is warm as a bird
his heart in my hand is heavy as lead
his eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
Oh send out the raven ahead of the doveHis life in my mouth is less than a man
his death on my breath is harder than stone
his eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
Oh send out the raven ahead of the doveOh send out the raven ahead of the dove
Oh sing from your chains where you're chained in a cave
your eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
your blood in my ballad collapes the graveOh sing from your chains where you're chained in a cave
your eyes through my eyes shine brighter than love
your heart in my hand is heavy as lead
your blood on my arm is warm as a birdOh break from your branches a green branch of love
after the raven had died for the doveLEONARD COHEN
