The Crane Wives - The Crooked, The Cradle lyrics

There's blood in the water There's blood in the water The quiet are restless The silent are still I'm nobody's daughter I'm nobody's daughter My enemies crow 'We're alone with the k**.' If mercies abound, I'll be safe, I'll be sound And the devil won't know of the love I just couldn't let go I won't pretend Our season won't end But I pray when it's done, when it's through, I'll have something left for you. The noble are weary The noble are weary This cradle still burns Like a hole in my chest. Can anyone hear me? Can anyone hear me? The crooked are smiling-- They know me the best. If mercies abound, I'll be safe, I'll be sound And the devil won't know of the love I just couldn't let go I won't pretend Our season won't end But I pray when it's done, when it's through, I'll have something left for you. If mercies abound, I'll be safe, I'll be sound And the devil won't know of the love I just couldn't let go I won't pretend Our season won't end But I pray when it's done, when it's through, I'll have something left for you.
