Crystal Singer Lyrics

© 1988 Kathy Mar



Reference: 'Crystal Singer', Anne McCaffrey 

Crystal Singer, do you hear the crystal cry

Does it cut your soul; each small goodbye?

Waiting for that final farewell chord

Piercing to the heart like crystal sword



Crystal Singer, bride of spore betrothed in song

Will the silent spore that makes you strong

Also make you slave to Ballybran

Aching still to leave it when you can



Bridge: When the crystal song is floating free

         Stealing all your time and memory

         Is the endless joy you have today

         Worth the price tomorrow has to pay?



Crystal Singer, carving on a crystal hill

Torn between the wind and crystal will

Living out your doom without regret

Ageless actress on a crystal set



         Instrumental



         Bridge



Crystal Singer, do you hear the crystal cry

Does it cut your soul; each small goodbye?

Waiting for that final farewell chord

Is the crystal curse its own reward?
