lyrics

Raven Black

I will see her in the glory of the morning
I will hear her midst the madness of the day
I will feel her when the winter winds are storming
And the birds of summer have flown away.

I will touch her in the gentle breeze of autumn
I will know her in the howling rain’s refrain
I will sense her in the empty nights of cities
And I’ll remember Tel Aviv again.

Chorus
The woman walked as if she were in shadow
And where she walked there was no going back
Here eyes were filled with many untold sorrows
And her hair was as dark as - raven black.

I will call her name in dreams of silent worry
As the troubles in the Middle East go on
I will see again the distant gun-ships flying
As she sang to me her sad and angry songs;

Chorus

Some men stay as some men leave
I will remember Tel Aviv
Some men take as some men need
I will remember Tel Aviv
Some men love as some men grieve
I will remember Tel Aviv.

Instrumental.

Chorus

I think of her when dawn is slowly rising
I think of her as night reclaims the day
May there one day be peace and understanding
Keep Sheila safe and well ‘til then I pray.

Chorus

And her hair was as dark as - raven black
And her hair was as dark as - raven black.
