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