This song was inspired by a YouTube video that I saw last year in which a raven seems to be making overatures to a snowy owl. They are thought to be enemies, although in Inuit mythology they were friends in the past. They definitely are something.
Anne Page McClard · Winter’s Love Calls
Lyrics
On cold winter nights
Snow gently falls
Lonesome breezes blow
And winter’s love calls
And winter’s love calls
The Owl and the Raven sit high in a tree
Raven says to owl, won’t you marry me?
Owl tells Raven, its never to be
For I love another, let’s wait and see
On cold winter nights
Snow gently falls
Lonesome breezes blow
And winter’s love calls
And winter’s love calls
Owl turns her head, pretends he’s not there
Raven whispers in her ear “You’re the fairest of fair!”
Owl spreads her wings, Posed to fly away
Raven coos and sings, “Won’t you please stay?”
On cold winter nights
Snow gently falls
Lonesome breezes blow
And winter’s love calls
And winter’s love calls
Owl says to Raven, playing it cool,
“We can be friends, tho’ I think you’re a fool”
Owl never married, or \ so they say,
but Raven and Owl were joined on that day
