Song A crow in the nightt You can't see it out of sight Yes she will come at you Suddenly a swan in sunlight There she is on the lake Standing off and ariving Daring you as if not aware Of all that is wrong and run Away with wind you would not do again So she sees you at whiskey and Tea There are only a certain amount of gems avalable to her,, and in first place you could not pick one out She says I did not think about a dime when it came to a dream

AI Interpretation

GPT

"Song" shifts from crow to swan, night to sunlight, lake to whiskey and Tea, then to gems, money, and dream.

The corrected transcript gives the page a clearer lyric motion. Desire changes form repeatedly, and the speaker's inability to choose the right gem becomes part of the dream's refusal to behave like ordinary value.

Song. A crow in the night you can't see out of sight — suddenly a swan in sunlight on the lake, standing off and arriving. Daring as if not aware of all that is wrong. She sees you at whiskey and tea. Only a certain amount of gems available to her — in first place you could not pick one out. She did not think about a dime when it came to a dream.
