Marianne Faithfull - The Crane Wife lyrics

And under the boughs unbowed All holding a snowy shroud She had no heart, so hardened All under the boughs unbowed Each feather, it fell from skin 'Til threadbare and she grew thin How were 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 A gray sky with bitter skin A rain cloud would rain on me All out behind horizon, oh A gray sky of bitter skin And I will hang my head

Hang my head low And I will hang my head Hang my head low And I will hang my head Hang my head low And I will hang my head Hang my head low And I will hang my head Hang my head low And I will hang my head Hang my head low And I will hang my head Hang my head low And I will hang my head Hang my head low And under the boughs unbowed All holding a snowy shroud She had no heart, so hardened All under the boughs unbowed
