EN

They follow me in the streets The hands pull at my sleeves They wake me from my sleep Crying: Mister, help us please I'm the Raven man I do what I can I cut them, and I bleed them I kneel and pretend to pray I sit with them through the dying hour And see their lives slip away I'm the raven man I do what I can This time last year, he was running in the field Fighting with the older boys, commanding them to yield Laughing with his friends, at some, foolish thing he'd done I remember how his golden hair outshone the morning sun Why don't you all just shut up? Go home, leave me alone There's nothing more I can do But watch you weep and moan Yes, I'll come with you I'll do what I can I'm the raven man I do what I can
