The Crane Wife 1, 2 & 3 (Home Demo) - The Decemberists[00:00:00]
Written by:Colin Meloy[00:00:01]
It was a cold night[00:00:11]
And the snow lay low[00:00:14]
I pulled my coat tight[00:00:18]
Against the falling down[00:00:21]
And the sun was all[00:00:24]
And the sun was all down[00:00:27]
And the sun was all[00:00:37]
And the sun was all down[00:00:40]
I am a poor man[00:00:50]
I haven't wealth nor fame[00:00:53]
I have my two hands[00:00:56]
And a house to my name[00:00:59]
And the winter's so[00:01:02]
And the winter's so long[00:01:05]
And the winter's so[00:01:15]
And the winter's so long[00:01:18]
And all the stars were crashing 'round[00:01:28]
As I laid eyes on what I'd found[00:01:34]
It was a white crane[00:01:47]
It was a helpless thing[00:01:50]
Upon a red stain[00:01:54]
With an arrow its wing[00:01:57]
And it called and cried[00:02:00]
And it called and cried so[00:02:03]
And it called and cried[00:02:13]
And it called and cried so[00:02:16]
And all the stars were crashing 'round[00:02:25]
As I laid eyes on what I'd found[00:02:32]
My crane wife my crane wife[00:02:45]
My crane wife my crane wife[00:02:57]
Now I helped her[00:03:10]
And I dressed her wounds[00:03:14]
And how I held her[00:03:17]
Beneath the rising moon[00:03:20]
And she stood to fly[00:03:23]
And she stood to fly away[00:03:26]
And she stood to fly[00:03:36]
She stood to fly away[00:03:39]
And all the stars crashing 'round[00:03:49]
As I laid eyes on what I'd found[00:03:55]
My crane wife my crane wife[00:04:08]
My crane wife my crane wife[00:04:21]
My crane wife arrived at my door[00:05:00]
In the moonlight[00:05:08]
All star bright and tongue tied[00:05:12]
I took her in[00:05:19]
We were married and bells rang sweet[00:05:27]
For our wedding[00:05:34]
And our bedding was ready[00:05:38]
When we fell in[00:05:46]
The sound of the keening bell[00:05:52]
To see its pain erect[00:05:56]
Soft as fontanel the feathers and the thread[00:06:00]
When all I ever meant to do was to keep you[00:06:07]
My crane wife[00:06:20]
My crane wife[00:06:24]
My crane wife[00:06:27]
We were poorly[00:06:45]
Our fortunes fading hourly[00:06:46]
And how she loved me[00:06:54]
She could bring it back[00:06:58]
But I was greedy I was vain[00:07:08]
And I forced her to weaving[00:07:14]
On a cold loom in a closed room[00:07:20]
Down the hall[00:07:27]
The sound of the keening bell[00:07:34]
To see its pain erect[00:07:37]
Soft as fontanel the feathers and a thread[00:07:41]
When all I ever meant to do was to keep you[00:07:48]
My crane wife[00:08:01]
My crane wife[00:08:04]
My crane wife[00:08:08]
There's a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart[00:08:21]
There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart[00:08:29]
Rakes at my heart heart[00:08:34]
Heart heart[00:08:50]
My crane wife[00:09:04]
And under the boughs unbowed[00:09:28]
All clothed in the snowy shroud[00:09:35]
She had no heart so hardened[00:09:42]
All under the boughs unbowed[00:09:50]
Each feather it fell from skin[00:10:11]
'Til thread bare while she grew thin[00:10:19]
How were my eyes so blinded[00:10:26]
Each feather it fell from skin[00:10:33]
And I will hang my head hang my head low[00:10:39]
And I will hang my head hang my head low[00:10:47]
A grey sky a bitter sting[00:11:11]
A rain cloud a crane on wing[00:11:18]
All out beyond horizon[00:11:25]
A grey sky a bitter sting[00:11:32]
And I will hang my head hang my head low[00:11:38]
And I will hang my head hang my head low[00:11:46]
And I will hang my head hang my head low[00:11:53]
And I will hang my head hang my head low[00:12:00]
