Lyrics:

I watched you walk
Home in the snow
From my house last night

You wore the black
Peacoat that I
Gave you last Christmas

In my memory
No one could ever
Look as smooth as
A bird in the winter

How ya held your back so straight
With that curve in your spine

I don't know

Maybe you built a lego tower
To strengthen your supports
Or maybe it's the will to be
A little bigger than me

Twist from left to right
Move them bones into place
Twist from left to right
Force the bones into place

What did ya say about the heron's feet
How to tell him from a crane?
Well, your shoes ain't blue
She don't love you

Lego tower support beam
Build you bigger than me

Twist left to right
Put your bones into place

Your shoes ain't blue
She don't love you
Not the way that I did
Back when we were fledglings

Twist left to right
Put your bones into place

Lego tower support beam
Build you bigger than me

In my memory
No one could ever
Look as smooth
As a bird in the winter

Canter, canter
Twist your bones
Into place

Canter, Canter
Twist your bones
Into place
