Crane Calls Over Fjords

Text
[Verse 1]
Snow on the heather
Frost in your hair
Lantern in your left hand
Breath in the air
Your name on the shoreline
Written
Then gone
I follow your footprints
Long after dawn
[Chorus]
Crane calls over fjords
Calling you home
Calling you home
High above these old stone shores
I walk alone
I walk alone
Crane calls over fjords
Echo your name into the cold
If you can hear
If you remember
Come back before the dark takes hold
[Verse 2]
Smoke from the houses
Thin silver thread
Our cottage a shadow
Windows gone red
Your cup on the table
Lip-mark half-fade
I talk to the silence
Like you just stayed
[Chorus]
Crane calls over fjords
Calling you home
Calling you home
High above these old stone shores
I walk alone
I walk alone
Crane calls over fjords
Echo your name into the cold
If you can hear
If you remember
Come back before the dark takes hold
[Bridge]
If I wade into the water (oh)
Will the current learn your hands
If I answer every echo
Will you rise from distant land
[Chorus]
Crane calls over fjords
Calling you home
Calling you home
High above these old stone shores
I walk alone
I walk alone
Crane calls over fjords
Carry my voice over the foam
If you can hear
If you remember
Follow the sound and find your home
Snow on the heather
Frost in your hair
Lantern in your left hand
Breath in the air
Your name on the shoreline
Written
Then gone
I follow your footprints
Long after dawn
[Chorus]
Crane calls over fjords
Calling you home
Calling you home
High above these old stone shores
I walk alone
I walk alone
Crane calls over fjords
Echo your name into the cold
If you can hear
If you remember
Come back before the dark takes hold
[Verse 2]
Smoke from the houses
Thin silver thread
Our cottage a shadow
Windows gone red
Your cup on the table
Lip-mark half-fade
I talk to the silence
Like you just stayed
[Chorus]
Crane calls over fjords
Calling you home
Calling you home
High above these old stone shores
I walk alone
I walk alone
Crane calls over fjords
Echo your name into the cold
If you can hear
If you remember
Come back before the dark takes hold
[Bridge]
If I wade into the water (oh)
Will the current learn your hands
If I answer every echo
Will you rise from distant land
[Chorus]
Crane calls over fjords
Calling you home
Calling you home
High above these old stone shores
I walk alone
I walk alone
Crane calls over fjords
Carry my voice over the foam
If you can hear
If you remember
Follow the sound and find your home

Haunting close harmonies float above a sparse, atmospheric bed, with distant crane calls woven subtly into the ambience.
