Ravens In the Library Lyrics & Tabs by S. J. Tucker
Ravens In the Library
guitar chords lyrics
One flies in to case the joint,
boldly struts around.
Two fly in to make it three,
laugh a while and knock each other down.
Four flies in with a frowning walk
gains a laugh from out a squawk
but it's five who owns the place
and proves it with a look,
stopping six and seven in their tracks from
smuggling a book.
Words within our grasp--do we let go?
Do we fly heavily with the weight of what we know?
Words within our grasp--do we let go?
Do we fly heavily with what we know?
My friend bids me come and see
Words within our grasp--do we let go?
Do we fly heavily with what we know?
My friend bids me come and see
the ravens in the library
setting quiet pages free.
My friend bids me come and see
the ravens in the library
setting quiet pages free.
One for fiction, two for truth,
three for bikes and bathing suits,
four for scifi/fantasy,
five loves art and ancient skulls,
six eats periodicals,
seven lives in poetry.
One hangs out on the drama shelves
but keeps the monologues to herself,
two and three are studying jewels.
Four reads all about the Huns,
five won't share the shiny ones,
six and seven label molecules.
Words within our grasp--do we let go?
Do we fly heavily with the weight of what we know?
Words within our grasp--do we let go?
Do we fly heavily with the what we know?
Hours of study flying by,
words soaked up by beady eyes,
long debates into the night,
pages flying everywhere.
Seek the language word by word
like the black and clever bird,
never let it bring you down
all the things we haven't figured out.
My friend bids me come and see
the ravens in the library
setting quiet pages free.
My friend bids me come and see
the ravens in the library
setting quiet pages free.
Seven reads about the gods,
chuckles to herself;
to the rest, she never lets on.
Try to catch a glimpse of them
bickering like mortal men-
feathers on the sidewalk.
If you heard a raven say such horrible words
as the ones you may have heard in your day to day,
would it make you choose your own more carefully
around the ones you love?
My friend bids me come and see
the ravens in the library
setting quiet pages free.
My friend bids me come and see
the ravens in the library
setting quiet pages free.
Setting quiet pages free.
Setting quiet pages free.
Setting quiet pages free.
