[00:00:00] The Crane Wife 1, 2 & 3 (Home Demo) - The Decemberists

[00:00:01] Written by：Colin Meloy

[00:00:11] It was a cold night

[00:00:14] And the snow lay low

[00:00:18] I pulled my coat tight

[00:00:21] Against the falling down

[00:00:24] And the sun was all

[00:00:27] And the sun was all down

[00:00:37] And the sun was all

[00:00:40] And the sun was all down

[00:00:50] I am a poor man

[00:00:53] I haven't wealth nor fame

[00:00:56] I have my two hands

[00:00:59] And a house to my name

[00:01:02] And the winter's so

[00:01:05] And the winter's so long

[00:01:15] And the winter's so

[00:01:18] And the winter's so long

[00:01:28] And all the stars were crashing 'round

[00:01:34] As I laid eyes on what I'd found

[00:01:47] It was a white crane

[00:01:50] It was a helpless thing

[00:01:54] Upon a red stain

[00:01:57] With an arrow its wing

[00:02:00] And it called and cried

[00:02:03] And it called and cried so

[00:02:13] And it called and cried

[00:02:16] And it called and cried so

[00:02:25] And all the stars were crashing 'round

[00:02:32] As I laid eyes on what I'd found

[00:02:45] My crane wife my crane wife

[00:02:57] My crane wife my crane wife

[00:03:10] Now I helped her

[00:03:14] And I dressed her wounds

[00:03:17] And how I held her

[00:03:20] Beneath the rising moon

[00:03:23] And she stood to fly

[00:03:26] And she stood to fly away

[00:03:36] And she stood to fly

[00:03:39] She stood to fly away

[00:03:49] And all the stars crashing 'round

[00:03:55] As I laid eyes on what I'd found

[00:04:08] My crane wife my crane wife

[00:04:21] My crane wife my crane wife

[00:05:00] My crane wife arrived at my door

[00:05:08] In the moonlight

[00:05:12] All star bright and tongue tied

[00:05:19] I took her in

[00:05:27] We were married and bells rang sweet

[00:05:34] For our wedding

[00:05:38] And our bedding was ready

[00:05:46] When we fell in

[00:05:52] The sound of the keening bell

[00:05:56] To see its pain erect

[00:06:00] Soft as fontanel the feathers and the thread

[00:06:07] When all I ever meant to do was to keep you

[00:06:20] My crane wife

[00:06:24] My crane wife

[00:06:27] My crane wife

[00:06:45] We were poorly

[00:06:46] Our fortunes fading hourly

[00:06:54] And how she loved me

[00:06:58] She could bring it back

[00:07:08] But I was greedy I was vain

[00:07:14] And I forced her to weaving

[00:07:20] On a cold loom in a closed room

[00:07:27] Down the hall

[00:07:34] The sound of the keening bell

[00:07:37] To see its pain erect

[00:07:41] Soft as fontanel the feathers and a thread

[00:07:48] When all I ever meant to do was to keep you

[00:08:01] My crane wife

[00:08:04] My crane wife

[00:08:08] My crane wife

[00:08:21] There's a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart

[00:08:29] There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart

[00:08:34] Rakes at my heart heart

[00:08:50] Heart heart

[00:09:04] My crane wife

[00:09:28] And under the boughs unbowed

[00:09:35] All clothed in the snowy shroud

[00:09:42] She had no heart so hardened

[00:09:50] All under the boughs unbowed

[00:10:11] Each feather it fell from skin

[00:10:19] 'Til thread bare while she grew thin

[00:10:26] How were my eyes so blinded

[00:10:33] Each feather it fell from skin

[00:10:39] And I will hang my head hang my head low

[00:10:47] And I will hang my head hang my head low

[00:11:11] A grey sky a bitter sting

[00:11:18] A rain cloud a crane on wing

[00:11:25] All out beyond horizon

[00:11:32] A grey sky a bitter sting

[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] And I will hang my head hang my head low
