[Intro]
[Verse 1]
Old friend, do you make the sunset? Do you make the bright stars flee?
Old crow, time is getting late; I know you ve a gift for me
Old bird, I see it in your talons; Glittering between the leaves
Friend, I m swimming in the shallows; You re calling from the deep
[Chorus]
And we bide our time; And we shed our skins
And we shake our bones; And we sink like stones
And we crawl through mud; Till we reach the sky
And we bide our time
[Interlude]
[Verse 2]
Old bird, you and I are brothers; Bonded by if and would
Old crow, you and I are sisters; Swimming in a bowl of blood
Old friend, you and I were strangers; Living by a restless sea
Friend, I knew when the wind blew; That you were calling me
[Chorus]
And we bide our time; And we shed our skins
And we shake our bones; And we sink like stones
And we crawl through mud; Till we reach the sky
And we bide our time
And we bide our time; And we bide our time
And we bide our time; And we bide our time
And we crawl through mud; Till we reach the sky
And we bide our time
[Outro]
