When I See Crane Like The Bird (Ft. Conor Oberst)

[Verse 1]
Jokingly, you called our technique "the falling leaf"
We shook the snow out of our sleeves in the powder
You and me were the first to arrive, the last to leave
Wedding white and emerald green in the cold air

[Chorus]
When I see your face, will I be older than you?

[Verse 2]
On that chairlift, we sat and watched the trees go by
After the snowdrift's lullaby, there's silence on the catenary
You and I in a Trooper on the mountainside
We had to stop there for the night, I remember
Sometimes I worry that heaven is just in our minds
A lie to keep our hearts from dyin', I hope it's real
'Cause I wanna see you like an artist who's lost his eyes
I'm longing for you like a bird who's kept inside

[Chorus]
When I see your face, will I be older than you?
When I see your face, will I be older than you?
When I leave this place

[Bridge]
Marsh and pastel blue
I'll cross the bridge with you
