I saw you bathing in the river I saw you throwing off the water from your beautiful wings I want to live a life of brightness and purity Beautiful like you Envy, desire Waiting on the wire Till the other birds are gone Wade in the springs To bleach those dirty wings The raven and the swan The raven and the swan I was a circle in the water Spreading out along the edges, and breaking up on the shore A little bit of time and I'm beautiful I'm beautiful like you [Chorus]
