And the Cranes Will Return Lyrics

Dry hedges burst into birds

Dead leaves into sparrows

Chelsea, delighted past words

With flapping arms follows

Spring follows winter

And the ice will thaw

And the cranes will return

To the lake

Her bones so hollow, she'd fly

I'll be well tomorrow

(Tomorrow, tomorrow, tomorrow)

She says as the north wind whips by

And all the cranes follow

Spring follows winter

And the ice will thaw

And the cranes will return

To the lake

Dark plumage richer than starlings'

These memories harrow

But faith just as fragile as wings

Reminds me spring follows

(They should have helped!)

Spring follows winter

And the ice will thaw

And the cranes will return

To the lake

Spring follows winter

And the ice will thaw

And the cranes will return

To the lake

Spring follows winter

And the ice will thaw

And the cranes will return

To the lake

The cranes will return

To the lake
