Oh raven, how do you keep your heavy body in the air?
By only your black feathery oars and your beating chest?
You're bobbing and breathing like a drowning boy out at sea
You labour and you lumber against all of gravity's favour
Oh raven, do your eyes freeze over?
Does it give you a hurting head
To breathe all this heatless air?
Oh raven, how you do stay up there?
Oh sunrise, you are but a Technicoloured stone
You're dreaming your way through the sky looking for your home
It's your last skip across the universe
It's your giant splash, glowing your phosphorescence
Oh sunrise, where do you get all your gold?
Why are you so hard to hold?
Oh sunrise, you and raven, oh you and raven are my only friends
