Verse 1

           Bm                               F#m
And in the dawning of the day in late september
                Bm                       F#m
There came a weeping from outside my chamber door
           Bm                               F#m
Weary from fever I rose up looked out the elder
        Bm                       F#m         F#m
A Raven with a broken wing yet nothing more

Verse 2

          Bm                                 F#m
I turn my head the once and bird become a damsel
               Bm                            F#m
With lips of cherry, ivory skin and lustrous hair
             Bm                            F#m
Open the doorway wide and smile for her to enter
          Bm                       F#m     F#m
Not in my lifetime seen a beast so rare

Verse 3

                Bm                          F#m
Sweet thighs of ruin how I loved her, and I loved her
             Bm                              F#m
She muttered low and helped me to her infant breasts
         Bm                              F#m
Deliverance was long and strong as god's my witness
        Bm                             F#m
Babylon burning sorrow known with each caress

Chorus 1

E               F#m
   And let the night in
E              F#m
   For you were broken
E            F#m
   Too ill to touch
E              F#m     F#m
             Too much

Verse 4

             Bm                           F#m
And with the medal Eguinal had done their duty
            Bm                          F#m
The morning glory lying awoke with duly low
              Bm                            F#m
I breathed my last the day the warning bell was knelling
                 Bm                                 F#m
She smoothed her feathers down and flew back out my window

Chorus 2

E               F#m
   And let the night in
E              F#m
   For you were broken
E            F#m
   Too ill to touch
E              F#m     F#m
             Too much
