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 it's own reward?
