Stepped
out in the dutchy rain
Stood beneath a big old crane
A young man in a stranger's coat
Chains hanging round his throat
He said, big crane, drag me out
Big crane, gonna lift my dad
As I stood beneath the big old crane
See the castle, see the church
Hear the bells down at Old Ducat
Big crane, make it stop
Take away this ticking clock
Big crane, hear my shout
Big crane, gonna lift my deck
As I stood beneath the big old crane
Someone catch me if I fall
As I made my bed on the Berlin Wall
Have mercy if I sleep
Rock me slowly, rock me deep
Big crane heard my shout
Big crane gone and left my doubt
As I stood beneath the big old crane
Yeah
Took my seat on that train,
watched the city roll away
Big crane brought me back,
lifted me back on the tracks
Big crane heard my shout,
big crane gonna lift my doubts
As I stood beneath the big ol' crane,
yeah
As I stood beneath the big ol' crane
you
