The Crane Wife 1 & 2 - The Decemberists[00:00:00]
Written by:Colin Meloy[00:00:00]
It was a cold night and the snow lay 'round[00:00:07]
I pulled my coat tight against the falling down[00:00:13]
And the sun was all and the sun was all down[00:00:19]
And the sun was all and the sun was all down[00:00:31]
I am a poor man I have not wealth nor fame[00:00:43]
I have my two hands and a house to my name[00:00:50]
And the winter's so the winter's so long[00:00:55]
And the winter's so the winter's so long[00:01:07]
And all the stars were crashing 'round[00:01:19]
As I laid eyes on what I'd found[00:01:25]
It was a white crane it was a helpless thing[00:01:37]
Upon a red stain with an arrow in its wing[00:01:43]
And it called and cried it called and cried so[00:01:49]
It called and cried it called and cried so[00:02:02]
And all the stars were crashing 'round[00:02:13]
As I laid eyes on what I'd found[00:02:19]
My crane wife my crane wife[00:02:31]
My crane wife my crane wife[00:02:43]
Now I helped her and I dressed her wounds[00:02:55]
And how I held her beneath the rising moon[00:03:01]
And she stood to fly she stood to fly away[00:03:07]
She stood to fly she stood to fly away[00:03:18]
And all the stars were crashing 'round[00:03:30]
As I laid eyes on what I'd found[00:03:36]
My crane wife my crane wife[00:03:47]
My crane wife my crane wife[00:03:59]
My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight[00:05:50]
All star bright and tongue-tied I took her in[00:06:02]
We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding[00:06:18]
And our bedding was ready when we fell in[00:06:30]
Sound the keening bell and see it's painted red[00:06:45]
Soft as fontanelle the feathers in the thread[00:06:53]
And all I ever meant to do was to keep you[00:07:01]
My crane wife my crane wife my crane wife[00:07:14]
We were poorly our fortunes fading hourly[00:07:38]
And how she avowed me she could bring it back[00:07:51]
But I was greedy I was vain[00:08:06]
And I forced her to weaving[00:08:13]
On a cold loom in a closed room[00:08:19]
With down wove[00:08:26]
Sound the keening bell and see it's painted red[00:08:33]
Soft as fontanelle the feathers in the thread[00:08:41]
And all I ever meant to do was to keep you[00:08:49]
My crane wife my crane wife my crane wife[00:09:03]
There's a bend in the wind[00:09:25]
And it rakes at my heart[00:09:27]
There is blood in the thread[00:09:33]
And it rakes at my heart[00:09:35]
It rakes at my heart heart heart heart[00:09:39]
Heart[00:10:28]
Heart[00:10:32]
Heart[00:10:36]
Heart[00:10:40]
Heart[00:10:44]
Heart[00:10:48]
Heart[00:10:52]
Heart[00:10:56]
My crane wife[00:10:59]
