Lyrics

Yellow Raven

The yellow raven sipped the air

Of thunder and of rain

The yellow raven sipped the air

Gentle lies kissing the rain

Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?

Take me away to somewhere

Take me away from here!

Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?

Answer to my yearning

Take me away from here!

The firebird began to cry

When the music died away

The firebird began to cry

And smoke was slowly drifting by

Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?

Take me away to somewhere

Take me away from here!

Where do you go, fantastic dreambird?

Answer to my yearning

Take me away from here
