<pre><font size='+2'>THE CRANE WIFE 1 AND 2 lyrics the DECEMBERISTS</font><br>[1]<br />
<br />
It was a cold night<br />
And the snow lay low<br />
I pulled my coat tight<br />
Against the falling down<br />
And the sun was all<br />
And the sun was all down<br />
And the sun was all<br />
And the sun was all down<br />
<br />
I am a poor man<br />
I haven`t wealth nor fame<br />
I have my two hands<br />
And a house to my name<br />
And the winter`s so<br />
And the winter`s so long<br />
And the winter`s so<br />
And the winter`s so long<br />
<br />
And all the stars were crashing `round<br />
As I laid eyes on what I`d found<br />
<br />
It was a white crane<br />
It was a helpless thing<br />
Upon a red stain<br />
With an arrow its wing<br />
And it called and cried<br />
And it called and cried so<br />
And it called and cried<br />
And it called and cried so<br />
<br />
And all the stars were crashing `round<br />
As I laid eyes on what I`d found<br />
My crane wife, my crane wife<br />
My crane wife, my crane wife<br />
<br />
Now I helped her<br />
And I dressed her wounds<br />
And how I held her<br />
Beneath the rising moon<br />
And she stood to fly<br />
And she stood to fly away<br />
And she stood to fly<br />
She stood to fly away<br />
<br />
And all the stars were crashing `round<br />
As I laid eyes on what I`d found<br />
My crane wife, my crane wife<br />
My crane wife, my crane wife<br />
<br />
[2]<br />
<br />
My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight<br />
All star bright and tongue-tied, I took her in<br />
We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding<br />
And our bedding was ready, we fell in<br />
<br />
Sound the keening bell<br />
And see it`s painted red <br />
Soft as fontenelle<br />
The feathers in the thread<br />
And all I ever meant to do was to keep you<br />
My crane wife<br />
My crane wife<br />
My crane wife<br />
<br />
We were poorly, our fortunes fading hourly<br />
And how she avowed me, she could bring it back<br />
But I was greedy, I was vain and I forced her to weaving<br />
On a cold loom, in a closed room with down and wool<br />
<br />
Sound the keening bell<br />
And see it`s painted red<br />
Soft as fontenelle<br />
The feathers in the thread<br />
And all I ever meant to do was to keep you<br />
My crane wife<br />
My crane wife<br />
<br />
There`s a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart<br />
There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart<br />
It rakes at my heart<br><br><a href='http://www.lyricsbay.com' target='_blank'>LyricsBay</a> | <a href="http://www.lyricsbay.com/the_crane_wife_1_and_2_lyrics-the_decemberists.html" target='_blank'>THE CRANE WIFE 1 AND 2 lyrics the DECEMBERISTS</a></pre>

[1]

It was a cold night
And the snow lay low
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

[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, we fell in

Sound the keening bell
And see it`s painted red
Soft as fontenelle
The feathers in the thread
And 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 avowed me, she could bring it back
But I was greedy, I was vain and I forced her to weaving
On a cold loom, in a closed room with down and wool

Sound the keening bell
And see it`s painted red
Soft as fontenelle
The feathers in the thread
And all I ever meant to do was to keep you
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
It rakes at my heart
