lyrics

The Crane Song

You exit the stage
Step down to meet me face to face
I enter the scene
Eighteen years and just one dream

Spotlights fade rewrite the script
With lines you said

Foreign words you spoke I tried to repeat
Lessons that you taught I could never teach
Time’s not wasted if we find our own song to sing

You follow behind
In quarter time march down the center aisle
Do you get tired
Of beats that pulse counting off

The flight of larks you train to sing
Now they disembark

Well paved roads are harder than I thought they might be
But you said you learn from opportunity
I’m not waiting on fortune to favour me

When I get where I want to go
In the back of my mind I know
There’s a seed inside you sowed
