As the Wikipedia page on Gerard Smith puts it: “The song "Killer Crane” from Nine Types Of Light was written about the band coming to terms with Smith’s impending death, and the song’s video serves as a tribute to him, featuring many shots of Smith.“ In its essence, "Killer Crane” is a testament to...
[Verse 1]
After the rain
A killer crane
After the rainbow
Across the sky
Her grace's glide
Across the sea
Across creation
And over time
Her gracious life
Escapes its station
A cold wind blows
The day bestows
Glum proclamation
Leave it behind
Your restless mind
Your jealousies
But isolation
Demands your patience
To be found together in time just to say
[Chorus]
Sunshine I saw you through the hanging vine
A memory of what is mine fading away
But this night heals the ground
And the moonlight steals the sound
I could leave suddenly unafraid
[Verse 2]
And after all
We're free to fall
Once all the pain goes
And how we stood
And what was good
Could lie us all long
In isolation
A transformation
Blue laughter leaves me
Leaves me blue
Emboldened on to see it through
This life of love and lighting go
A killer crane
After a rainbow
May they found together in time just to say
[Chorus]
Sunshine, I saw you through the hanging vine
A memory of what was mine fading away
But this night heals the ground
And the moonlight steals the sound
I could leave suddenly unafraid
Sunshine, come crawling through the hanging vines
A memory of what was mine fading away
But this night heals the ground
And the moonlight steals the sound
I could leave suddenly unafraid
Sunshine, I saw you through the hanging vine
All memories of what was mine fading away
But this night heals the ground
And the moonlight steals the sound
I can leave suddenly unafraid
