[00:01.00]The Crane Wife 1
[00:02.16]
[00:07.28]It was a cold night
[00:10.65]And the snow lay 'round
[00:13.73]I pulled my coat tight
[00:16.77]Against the falling down
[00:19.73]And the sun was all
[00:22.61]And the sun was all down
[00:31.71]And the sun was all
[00:34.82]And the sun was all down
[00:39.20]
[00:44.10]I am a poor man
[00:46.91]I haven't wealth nor fame
[00:49.83]I have my two hands
[00:52.83]And a house to my name
[00:55.89]And the winter's so
[00:58.85]And the winter's so long
[01:07.99]And the winter's so
[01:10.78]And the winter's so long
[01:15.70]
[01:19.54]And all the stars were crashing 'round
[01:25.61]As I laid eyes on what I found
[01:32.32]
[01:37.84]It was a white crane
[01:40.83]It was a helpless thing
[01:43.93]Upon a red stain
[01:47.00]With an arrow its wing
[01:49.95]And it called and cried
[01:52.86]And it called and cried so
[02:01.93]And it called and cried
[02:04.93]And it called and cried so
[02:09.97]
[02:13.80]And all the stars were crashing 'round
[02:19.73]As I laid eyes on what I found
[02:31.95]My crane wife, my crane wife
[02:43.55]My crane wife, my crane wife
[02:50.68]
[02:55.47]How I helped her
[02:58.33]And how I dressed her wounds
[03:01.36]And how I held her
[03:04.31]Beneath the rising moon
[03:07.26]And she stood to fly
[03:10.60]And she stood to fly away
[03:18.88]And she stood to fly
[03:21.88]She stood to fly away
[03:27.68]
[03:30.50]And all the stars were crashing 'round
[03:36.13]As I laid eyes on what I found
[03:47.99]My crane wife, my crane wife
[03:59.43]My crane wife, my crane wife
[04:07.28]
[05:31.26]The Crane Wife 2
[05:39.28]
[05:50.75]My crane wife arrived at my door in the moonlight
[06:02.79]All star bright and tongue-tied I took her in
[06:18.39]We were married and bells rang sweet for our wedding
[06:30.76]And our bedding was ready when we fell in
[06:41.46]
[06:45.37]Sound the keening bell
[06:49.34]And see it's painted red
[06:53.39]Soft as fontanel
[06:57.28]The feathers in the thread
[07:01.10]When all I ever meant to do was to keep you
[07:15.00]My crane wife
[07:19.60]My crane wife
[07:22.99]My crane wife
[07:29.61]
[07:38.62]We were poorly, our fortunes fading hourly
[07:51.15]And how she vowed me, she could bring it back
[08:06.68]But I was greedy, I was vain and I forced her to weaving
[08:19.14]On cold loom, in a closed room, with down wove
[08:29.76]
[08:33.68]Sound the keening bell
[08:37.55]And see it's painted red
[08:41.74]Soft as fontanel
[08:45.30]The feathers in the thread
[08:49.33]When all I ever meant to do was to keep you
[09:03.32]My crane wife
[09:07.39]My crane wife
[09:11.41]My crane wife
[09:17.88]
[09:25.40]There's a bend in the wind and it rakes at my heart
[09:33.39]There is blood in the thread and it rakes at my heart
[09:39.93]It rakes at my heart
[10:59.68]My crane wife
