Crane Wife Parts 1 2 3
Decemberists
*Crane Wife 1*

It was a cold night
And the snow lay around
I pulled my coat tight
Against the falling down
And the sun was all
And the sun was all down
And the sun was all
And the sun was all down

I am a poor man
I haven't wealth nor fame
I have my two hands
And a house to my name
And the winter's so
And the winter's so long
And the winter's so
And the winter's so long

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found

It was a white crane
It was a helpless thing
Upon a red stain
With an arrow its wing
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so
And it called and cried
And it called and cried so

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife

Now I helped her
And I dressed her wounds
And how I held her
Beneath the rising moon
And she stood to fly
And she stood to fly away
And she stood to fly
She stood to fly away

And all the stars were crashing 'round
As I laid eyes on what I'd found
My crane wife, my crane wife
My crane wife, my crane wife

Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da
Da da da da da da da da da da da da da da da

*Crane Wife 2*

My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight
All star-bright and tongue tied I took her in

We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding
And our bedding was ready when we fell in

Sound the keening bell and see it's painted red
Soft as fontanel, the feathers in the thread
When all I ever meant to do was to keep you   
My crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife

We were poorly, our fortunes fading hourly
And how she vowed me she could bring it back

But I was greedy I was vain and I forced her to weaving
On cold loom in closed room with down wove

Sound the keening bell and see it's painted red
Soft as fontanel, the feathers in the thread
When all I ever meant to do was to keep you   
My crane wife, my crane wife, my crane wife

There's a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart
There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart

Rakes at my heart, heart, heart, heart, heart

Heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart, heart

My crane wife

*Crane Wife 3*

(  )x2

And under the boughs unbound
All clothed in a snowy shroud
She had no heart so hardened
All under the boughs unbound

(  )x2

Each feather it fell from skin
Till threadbare she grew thin
How where my eyes so blinded
Each feather it fell from skin

And I will hang my head hang my head low
And I will hang my head hang my head low

(  )x2

The gray sky looked bitter stained
A rain cloud and crane on wing
All out beyond horizons oh
A gray sky a bitter stain

(And I will hang my head hang my head low)x7

(  )x4

(  )x2

And under the boughs unbound
All clothed in a snowy shroud
She had no heart so hardened
All under the boughs unbound

(  )x2

Each feather it fell from skin
Till threadbare she grew thin
How where my eyes so blinded
Each feather it fell from skin

And I will hang my head hang my head low
And I will hang my head hang my head low

(  )x2

The gray sky looked bitter stained
A rain cloud and crane on wing
All out beyond horizons oh
A gray sky a bitter stain

(And I will hang my head hang my head low)x6

(  )x4
