Cranes In The Sky Lyrics - Solange Knowles

[Verse 1] 

I tried to drink it away 

I tried to put one in the air 

I tried to dance it away 

I tried to change it with my hair 

[Verse 2] 

I ran my credit card bill up 

Thought a new dress would make it better 

I tried to work it away 

But that just made me even sadder 

[Verse 3] 

I tried to keep myself busy 

I ran around in circles 

Think I made myself dizzy 

I slept it away, I sexed it away 

I read it away 

[Refrain 1] 

Away, away, away, away, away, away 

Away, away, away, away, away 

[Hook 1] 

Well it's like cranes in the sky 

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds 

Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky 

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds 

[Verse 4] 

I tried to run it away 

Thought then my head be feeling clearer 

I traveled 70 states 

Thought moving round make me feel better 

[Verse 5] 

I tried to let go my lover 

Thought if I was alone then maybe I could recover 

To write it away or cry it away 

Don't you cry baby 

[Refrain 1] 

Away, away, away, away, away, away 

Away, away, away, away, away 

[Hook 2] 

But it's like cranes in the sky 

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal clouds 

Yeah, it's like cranes in the sky 

Sometimes I don't wanna feel those metal... 

[Refrain 2] 

Away, away, away, away, away 

Away, away, away, away, away 

[Refrain 2] 

Away, away, away, away, away 

Away, away, away, away, away 

[Refrain 2] 

Away, away, away, away, away 

Away, away, away, away, away
