Lyrics
Time is over and I know you’re gone
See you flying over, held my tongue
The lines I send you only keep you down
Faith in weather as my love is blown
Wind was very strong today,
When seven ravens flew away
See you far upon a hill of glass
I could never climb, but still, I start
Build the steps I need to bear our weight
Seven years to make, and six I stayed
Wind was very strong today,
When seven ravens flew away
I was taken by the wind and swept away
I could not respond to anything he’d say
I was taken by the wind and swept away
I could not respond to anything he’d say
Wind was very strong today,
When seven ravens flew away
Time is over for I’m almost done
See you flying over, held my tongue
Hope my voice is strong and calls you down
Faith in weather and my love’s retur.
Time is over and I know you’re gone
See you flying over, held my tongue
Hope my voice is strong and calls you down
Faith in weather as my love is blown
