Lyrics

Once in a lifetime
Comes a moment of truth
When the threads of your life unfold

In a moment of lucidity
An open clear gaze
Captured me
And haunted me so

A graceful dark shadow
I felt my doom was near
It landed outside my window
As I came near
It showed no sign of fear
But towards me it started to crow

I was locked in its spell
Held under its gaze
Frozen in a moment of truth
Your call shattered the sky
The raven took flight
I wanted to cry

It was then that I saw you in the garden of light
With a smile that tore away all my fear

You’re my raven boy
You’re my noble queen
Is there any place for us?
In a garden where
We are free to dream
And fly a tale just for us
In a magic world
With a song to sing
We can be true to ourselves
Dance among the trees
We can spread our wings
And nothing can tear us apart

When I saw you there
O’er the balcony
I thought I had strayed into a dream
Only ravens knew
What I saw was true
You are more than what you seem

I was locked in your spell
Held under your gaze
Frozen in a moment of truth
Your beauty so shy
Golden rose in the sky
I wished I could fly

In your eyes shone a light so warm and bright
That I’ll cherish it all of my years

You’re my noble queen
You’re my raven boy
Is there any place for us?
In a garden where
We are free to dream
And fly a tale just for us
In a magic world
With a song to sing
We can be true to ourselves
Dance among the trees
We can spread our wings
And nothing can tear us apart
