The Cranes by Patty Larkin On their wings they are returning On their wings they fly Shadows fade the sun is burning high Every day the light stays longer Everyday you sigh Shadows fade you start to wave goodbye If you're thinking of leaving You're leaving at a very bad time If you're thinking of leaving You're leaving at a very bad time Gray on grey the sky is changing Gray on grey sunrise Morning breaks the crimson waits behind Only love can end the yearning Only love knows why Only love the color of your eyes If you're thinking of leaving You're leaving at a very bad time If you're thinking of leaving You're leaving at a very bad time On their wings they are returning On their wings they fly Winter fades the sun is burning high
