the crane went away today
shore it rose and it washed away
and with my arms outstretched
and my eyes open wide
i'm waiting for the wind
to carry us home
and now I'll fly again
with the big sun on my back
for peace in all my bones
the will i'll never lack
for a dream of all my hopes
while resting in the breeze
if you let me let go
you'll kiss yourself with ease
the crane went away today
shore it rose and it washed away
and with my arms outstretched
and my eyes open wide
i'm waiting for the wind
to carry us home

This is thoughtful and melancholy, but not morose -- there is hope in its sheer beauty. Her sensitivity as an arranger and producer is as impressive as her songwriting and singing; the whole album has a lovely sense of texture and space. Joe Madden
Listening to this album is akin to drinking sip by sip a cup full of pure love and tranquility, in which each sip embraces and nourishes the soul. oldbean66
