Kathy Mar - 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?
