Today the wild cranes passed me by
I heard them first, then searched the skies.
A thousand miles and more, they fly.
Today the wild cranes passed me by.
Today the wild cranes passed me by
Reminding me of better times
when I was naive and the world was mine
Today the wild cranes passed me by.
Fly so far, fly so low, fly to places I would go
If I had wings to take me there, I’d fly in circles in the air.
Today the wild cranes passed me by.
Their voices carried on the wind
I watched them spiral, then ascend.
Today the wild cranes passed me by.
Fly so far, fly so low, fly to places I would go
If I had wings to take me there, I’d fly in circles in the air.
