Wishing Cap (feat. James Mercer)

Crane Like The Bird

Compositor: Kyle Crane

Found a shoebox in your old room faded and filled with letters
Anything to feel close to you
Anything to feel forever

Every day I wish I had one of those green wishing caps
I'd pack a bag, then maybe I could go back
I'd climb up and walk right through those wooden-framed photographs
I'd start cryin' and hug my dad

Now all I have is dog tags, pilot maps
Your faded name at Trinidad, Polaroids, hand-me-downs
Every beautiful soul is lost and found
Planted in your name
I'd like to think a kid's swingin' from a branch someday

Every day I wish I had one of those green wishing caps
I'd pack a bag, then maybe I could go back
I'd climb up and walk right through those wooden-framed photographs
I'd start smilin' and hug my dad
Because all that I have is you
