[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
[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 bide our time
And we crawl through mud
Till we reach the sky
And we bide our time
