[00:11.73] within the fire
[00:14.66] and out upon the sea
[00:18.97] crazy man Michael was walking
[00:23.60] he met with a raven
[00:27.16] with eyes black as coal
[00:30.54] and shortley they were talking
[00:34.23]
[00:36.76] "your future, your future
[00:40.51] i will tell to, your future
[00:46.82] you often have asked of me
[00:49.95] your true love will die
[00:52.70] by your own right hand
[00:57.14] and crazy man Michael
[00:59.88] will cursed be"
[01:28.63] well, Michael he ranted
[01:31.13] and Michael he raved
[01:34.88] and he beat at the four winds
[01:40.45] with his fists-o
[01:45.07]
[01:46.07] well, he laughed and he cried
[01:49.50] he shouted and he swore
[01:54.19] for his mad mind
[01:56.07] entrapped him with a fist-hold
[02:00.26] "you speak with an evil
[02:03.82] you speak with a hate
[02:06.76] you speak for the devil that haunts
[02:08.82] for is she not the fairest
[02:10.32] in all the broad land?
[02:12.81] your sorcerers words are to taunt me"
[02:43.76] well, he took out his dagger of fine and broad steel
[02:49.82] and he struck down the raven
[02:53.20] through the heart-o
[02:56.07] well, the bird fluttered long
[02:59.19] and the sky it did spin
[03:02.76] and this cold earth did
[03:05.13] wander 'round startled
[03:06.88] "oh where is that raven
[03:40.63] that i struck down dead
[03:44.31] and here did lie on the ground-o?
[03:50.25] i see my true love with a wound so red
[03:58.19] where her lover's heart
[04:01.32] it did pound-o"
[04:04.26] crazy man Michael
[04:05.69] he wander I'm told
[04:08.20] and he talks through
[04:11.25] the night and day-o but his eyes they are sane
[04:18.19] and his speech is plain
[04:21.70] and he longs to be far away-o
[04:28.76] Michael he whistles
[04:31.57] the simplest of tunes
[04:34.63] as he asks of the wild wolves
[04:37.88] their pardon
[04:38.63] but his true love has flown
[04:43.38] into every flower grown
[04:47.07] and he must be keeper of the garden
[00:11.73] within the fire
[00:14.66] and out upon the sea
[00:18.97] crazy man Michael was walking
