A whimsical song inspired by a short summer romance on the banks of the Nile.
lyrics
Waiting for the leaves to change
The colors they fill my mind
Shed my skin before the spring
Your calls they drive me wild
Baby you're my red crown crane
And I'll meet you by the Nile
Protect the nest then I'll fly west
And look for you again next year
When I was young I used to stay up late
I'd skate in circles around that cold icy lake
My feet lay bare against the earth
I'd travel a hundred miles
My toes kicking up that dirt
Chorus
Cover the walls the poster game
Record the song on the radio
Try to sing it back the same
A little bit of practice just won't do
If you insist on me
Then I will insist on you
Chorus
