letra de the crane wife 1 & 2 - the decemberists
[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 when we fell in
the sound of the keening bell
to see its pain erect
soft as fontenelle
the feathers and 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 vowed me, she could bring it back
but i was greedy, i was vain and i forced her to weaving
on cold loom, in a closed room, with down wove
the sound of the keening bell
and to see its pain erect
soft as fontenelle
the feathers and 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
my crane wife
