Ravens

If I were a kingdom
I’d come to you
I’d come to you in the night
If I had my wishes all come true
You would stay at my side
Ride like the wind
Like a raven black
And I’ll be right behind
Whatever you say, I’m not going back
We will fly
We will fly
If I were a castle, I’d stand tall
I’d be so easy to find
You won’t need a ladder to climb these walls
I would let you inside
Sing like a dove
Like a raven black
And wings will beat in time
Whatever you say, you’re not going back
We will fly
We will fly
If I were a ruler, I’d make a vow
To never let you go
I’d send all my people far and wide
To bury all of your woe
Call out to me
Like a raven black
And I will take you away
Look at me now, I’m not holding back
When I fly
When I fly

Forgiveness

Don’t walk away
We have far to go
This much I know
We’ve got a lot of baggage
But I’ll set it down
If it will turn you around
And I can’t change all the things that I’ve done
If I could, I bet you wouldn’t run
But I can’t go back to that anymore
It gets so heavy
Having weighted opinions of me
It gets so lonely
When you can’t understand what I mean
I get so angry
When I feel like I can’t say a thing
It’s never right
Sparks a fight
Oh when is forgiveness a thing?
And I can’t change all the things that I’ve done
If I could, I bet you wouldn’t run
But I can’t go back to that anymore

Winter

Twas a night I won’t forget
We huddled close like babes in winter
Like the dew turned frost
Clutching to barren oak trees
My love was there
Twas a morning I shan’t forget
I kissed your mouth
Felt your hands run through my hair
Like a quivering arrow you shook
My love was there
I float my joy to you
Beckon your grief to me to
We shan’t forget these passings
But we yearn to start anew

The Parting Glass

Of all the money that e'er I spent
I spent it in good company
And all the harm that e'er I've done
Alas, it was to none but me
And all I've done for want of wit
To memory now I can't recall
So fill to me the parting glass
Good night and joy be with you all
Of all the comrades that e'er I've had
They are sorry for my going away
And all the sweethearts that e'er I've loved
They would wish me one more day to stay
But since it falls unto my lot
That I should rise and you should not
I'll gently rise and I'll softly call
Good night and joy be with you all

Mackenzie Shivers New York, New York
When Mackenzie Shivers creates music, it’s as if it demands to be heard. The Hudson Valley based singer-songwriter began writing music and playing piano when she was four years old, telling her mother she had “music locked inside of her that needed to come out.” Her writing provides a conduit for complex emotions, untangling as they poke through the surface, yearning to be explored and set free. ... more
