Lyrics
Tall steel arm against the sky Red lamp blinking, slow and shy Containers stacked in sleeping rows Water black where the moonlight goes Rest, tall crane, rest Red light blinking on your chest Rest, tall crane, rest Stay close, I'm right here, you've done your best All day lifting, all day long Now the harbour hums a song Cables swaying in the rain Quiet, quiet, once again Rest, tall crane, rest Red light blinking on your chest Rest, tall crane, rest Stay close, I'm right here, you've done your best Ships will come and ships will go Carrying a world below But for now the dock is still Mist is climbing up the hill Gulls are folded, wings are down Lamps are glowing through the town Hang your hook and let it be Sleeping over the silver sea Rest, tall crane, rest Red light blinking on your chest Rest, tall crane, rest Stay close, I'm right here, you've done your best Rest, tall crane Rest
