Black Crane

[Verse 1]
Black crane cool with all your hearts
Tell 'em not to resort to religions
Black crane, black crane, always keeping apart
Unwilling to consort with pigeons

[Chorus]
And when things slow to a crawl and sighs fill their eyes
(Up and away, up, up and away)
And the empress’s tastes have changed, avert your right
(Up and away, up, up and away)
'Cause the dreams you dream in the vines
Mean about as much as mine

[Verse 2]
And from the gutter, from under the rubble
Rise, rise, spread your feathers
Each word they utter invites more trouble
So stay beyond the reach of letters

[Chorus]
And when things slow to a crawl and sighs fill their eyes
(Up and away, up, up and away)
And the empress's tastes have changed, avert your right
(Up and away, up, up and away)
’Cause the dreams you dream in the vines
Mean about as much as mine

[Refrain]
Mine
Mine
Mine

[Chorus]
And when things slow to a crawl and sighs fill their eyes
(Up and away, up, up and away)
And the empress's tastes have changed, avert your right
(Up and away, up, up and away)
'Cause the dreams you dream in the vines
Mean about as much as mine
