Ravens
Flight of Farewell: Ravens Dance in the Fading Sun
Lyrics
I saw ravens today
I observed ravens today
As the sun began to fade
As the sun started to set
Silhouettes against the sky
Dark shapes outlined against the sky
They came back to say goodbye
They returned to bid farewell
One, by one, by one
Indicates repetition or emphasis on the ravens departing
One, by one, by one
I heard your name today
I encountered your name today
I didn't have much to say
I had little to express
As I turned away to cry
While turning away to grieve
I couldn't tell you why
I couldn't explain the reason
I saw ravens today
Reiterating the observation of ravens
As the sun began to fade
As daylight diminished
And you swayed in time
Describes a rhythmic movement, possibly emotional or symbolic
As they took flight
Connection between the person and the departing ravens
In the rain
During rainfall
One by one
Emphasizes the sequential departure of the ravens
I saw ravens today
Reiteration of observing ravens, completing the narrative
