lyrics

hard branches and faces in the diamonds
faces in the crescents too
new mothers bringing hardly more than islands
out into this world of blue

who loves them and who loves them not
white raven sails over a parking lot

more footsteps on the walk, then the doorbell
more coats on the rack
good people making heaven out of hell
fifty voices beat it back

who loved him or who loved him not
white raven sails over a parking lot

and it's shuddering and juddering in the winter wind
high up in those northern wilds
where the people give a name give a name
where the old timers shake their heads
where the people walking way down in the southern sun
have a mirror in the northern lights
where the high school kids are used to the darkness
cause the sun don't come around till noon
where the wings are muffled by the snow
and the people know the quiet well
where the cold is like a god's strong finger
and they call him white wings

who loved him or who loved him not
white raven sails over a parking lot

who loved him or who loved him not
white raven sails over a parking lot
