Lyrics for Crazy Man Michael by Fairport Convention:
| | | Artist: | Fairport Convention |
| | Album: | Liege And Lief | | Track: | Crazy Man Michael | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 323 | | | | Lyrics: | Within the fire and out upon the sea
Crazy Man Michael was walking
He met with a raven
with eyes black as coals
And shortly they were a-talking
"Your future, your future,
I would tell to you
Your future, you often have asked me
Your true love will die by your
own right hand
And Crazy Man Michael will cursed be"
Michael he ranted and Michael
he raved
And beat at the four winds with his fists-oh
He laughed and he cried, he shouted
and he swore
For his mad mind had trapped him with a kiss-oh
"You speak with an
evil, you speak with a hate
You speak for the devil that haunts me
For is she not the
fairest in all the broad land?
Your sorceror's words are to taunt me"
He took out
his dagger of fire and of steel
And struck down the raven through the heart-oh
The bird
fluttered long and the sky it did spin
And the cold earth did wonder and
start-oh
"Oh, where is the raven that I struck down dead
That here'd lie on the
ground-oh?
I see but my true love with a wound so red"
Her lover's heart it did
pound-oh
Crazy Man Michael, he wanders and walks
And talks to the night and the
day-oh
But his eyes they are sane and his speech it is clear
And he longs to be far
away-oh
Michael he whistles the simplest of tunes
And asks the wild woods their
pardon
For his true love is flown into every flower grown
And he must be keeper of the
garden | | | |  Reddit | X / Twitter | Facebook | Copy link |
