歌词
I had a dream of a raven turning into a man
He climbed out of a white car to shout at me
My wife walked out in the blue dress she wore the first time I saw her
The hem was torn and blood soaked through the seams
She said
"I think he lost his mind for a moment"
And just like that, I was alone on the porch
I fell to my knees and wept
Begged for forgiveness
But the raven kept knocking on my door
I awoke in a cold sweat in my chair in the first floor study
The glass still in my hand, the candles all still lit
(The candles all still, candles, candles, the candles all still lit)
I stumbled up the stairs to our master suite, the room in ruins
Every drawer yanked open, the secret love letters torn to pieces
(Torn to pieces)
I think I lost my mind for a moment
When I pictured her sneaking off in that blue dress, oh
I fell to my knees and wept
Begged for forgiveness
But the raven is coming nonetheless, oh-oh-oh
The neighbors told it truly
No details left unheard
The papers couldn't make it up if they tried
So they wrote down every word
It was a fit of passion
She was his only one
They heard him scream "I love you"
Right before a bullet left a gun
I'll in my life with the same pistol that I took hers with
Wearing the suit I wore the day she married me
I'll brush her hair and redo her lipstick before they get here
So they can see how beautiful she used to be
I lost my mind and never found it
Lying next to her on the kitchen floor
I took her hand and wept
Begged for forgiveness
But the raven kept knocking on my door
Oh the raven's still knocking on my door
