Raven
As the night calls you
Sun near gone and all light fading
Heat of the waning sun has past
and yields to the pallid moon

In darkness comes the lust of night
and trepidation fades
Howling comes my desire and righteous need
and with it your raven hair and burning eyes
To tear my indecision away

Oh Raven
As the night calls you
And bares your breast to my sinful tongue
to feed my needful want and leave me sated
and yet unfulfilled and ere wanting
The nectar of your womanhood

Raven
As the night calls you
I am yours so to possess
And yet you see me not as yet
My age perhaps is beyond you lustful thought

But Raven
As the night calls you
My sin is to feed my eyes on you
and ere to slake my need and desire
My mind takes hold of you in the dimness
And I love you yet again
