fairport convention – crazy man michael (2012) lyrics
[verse 1]
within the fire and out upon the sea
crazy man michael was walking
but he met with a raven with eyes black as coals
and shortly they fell to talking
“your future, your future i will tell to you
your future you often have asked me
your true love will die by your own right hand
then crazy man michael will cursed be”
[verse 2]
michael he ranted and michael he raved
and beat at the four winds with his fists+o
he laughed and he cried, he shouted and he swore
for his mad mind had trapped him with a kiss+o
“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 this broad land?
your sorcerer’s words are to taunt me”
[violin solo]
[whistle solo]
[verse 3]
he took out his dagger of fire and of steel
and struck down the raven through the heart+o
the bird fluttered long and the sky it did spin
and the cold earth did wonder and startle
“o where is the raven that i cut down dead
that here did lie on the ground+o?
where i see that my true love with a wound so red
where her lover’s heart it did pound+o”
[verse 4]
crazy man michael he wanders and walks
and he talks to the night and the day+o
but his eyes they are sane and his speech it is plain
and he longs to be far, far away+o
michael he whistles the simplest of tunes
and asks of the four winds their pardon
for his true love is flown into every flower grown
and he must be keeper of the garden
