Mitchell, Lisa - The Story Of The Raven And The Mushroom Man Lyrics






Late the other day when the earth turned away
I found a little book [?] in the grey
[?] flower drawn like a child on the cover
It was the story of the raven and the mushroom man
He was the first real friend he ever had

I never want to be like that serious man
Telling himself he is serious
Always counting those numbers
He's got a red face and a mushroom head
He's been too long in the rat race
Too long in the dead days

If only a raven with a sore wing
Could fall at his feet with eyes full of mercy
The little mushroom man might fashion
A little splint out of driftwood
And he might feel a little light shine
He might see his own kindness
And think that maybe counting isn't everything
Maybe there are more ravens that need me more than numbers

The mushroom man loved the raven so
And deep inside his heart grew a thing called hope
One Sunday night the raven was weak
He didn't wake up and the mushroom man weeped
Caused his planet to leak

Well he buried his friend and he buried his books
He looked out to space and his head he shook
As he looked out across the escape
A sapling rose grew from the raven's grave
From the raven's grave hope had sprung
He knew then how it had been done
As he tended to the raven's wing a seed of hope had grown within
And now it grows for all to see and his planet is no longer just he

    O-O W-what 

  20. C.... P....

    I LOVE THIS! The song is wonderfully dainty, and the lyrics are based off "The Little Prince" by Antoine de Saint-Exupéry, which I highly recommend. :')

  28. S.... S....

    This seems very monty python-ish or more specifically Spike Miligan -isk? Nice tune love it.

  29. m.... r....

    me gusta, me gusta, me gusta mucho!!

  30. B.... ....

    A poor excuse for people who can't handle the real world. Nobody needs to be "unplugged", all they need is to grow a pair and see that the real world is a spectacular and amazing place to be. Honestly, youth these days want everything handed to them for nothing and when they don't get what they want they cry like children and claim that they have been wronged.

  31. M.... J....

    So glad to see you've stayed true to yourself, a real true artist in many ways :)

    it's psychedelics, magic mushroom. for people who don't know. you have to try psychedelics atleast once in your life. it will completely unplug you from this ridiculous society and introduce you to the universe.

  51. s.... ....

    if you look at a picture of your secret crush and you notice that you will never be together and this song is playing in the background...not a good combination..

  52. T.... S....

    Where do you get your inspiration?

  53. S.... L....

    I was lucky enough to see you perform live twice Lisa, and even meet you! Keep up the good work. :)

  56. s.... ....

    I like the song, but not the video..

  57. c.... ....

    probably my favourite track from the record!

  58. S.... C....

    The only way to do a video for this song and it was perfect!

  59. T.... ....

    Amazing!

  60. B.... M....
