lyrics

All of these white cranes are flying above my head
All of these fields are reflecting skyscrapers
And I'm just sitting here waiting for some kind of sign

I'm in the forest surrounded by city scape
And I'm in the mountains I'm held back by metal gates
No matter where I am, I'm never all that far from the sea

You've got a reason to build up those walls
Those grey cold walls
But I don't think that you know what you're up against
Got a heart made of cement

So I walk to through gate and up one hundred and three steps to the top where the forest opens up
and from there I can see the wings of a thousand white cranes

And I counted them each and I watched them take off
My heart started beating an adrenaline rush
But all I could hear was the sound of the dead rustling leaves.

This kind of thing doesn't happen a lot
You gotta pick the right spot
When all the neon blaring noise goes on turns off
Then what will be left

All of these real cranes, will turn into paper and get folded again
Then tied, tied to a string
Just like a discarded bad fortune
Just like a feather caught in the wind
All the remaining pieces falling.

I'm looking forward to walking away from you
And I'm looking forward to staying in bed with you
But no matter where I am, I never quite belong.
Cause I'm just the blue heron
I will always be the blue heron
