about

Inspired by The Crane Wife, by Patrick Ness.

lyrics

When you swanned through
I want to know you
And we’re making something nice
That perhaps our friends will buy
I take old books that I find
And a feather from your side
I love you. Who are you?
And I feel like moving fast
Getting married, and all that
But I’ve yet to know you long
And where you get your feathers from
Come in, closer
And we’re making something nice
That perhaps our friends will buy
And I take old books I find
And a feather from your side
And I feel like moving fast
Getting married, and all that
But I’ve yet to know you long
And where you get your feathers from
And I want you to move in
I want to know everything
But it’s time that makes us sing
For the feathers make your wings
