The Crane Wives
The Crooked, The Cradle
[Verse 1]
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 crawl, we're alone with the kill
[Chorus]
If mercy's abound, I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go
I won't pretend my season won't end
But I pray, when it's done, when it's through
I'll have something left for you
[Verse 2]
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
[Chorus]
If mercy's abound, I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go
I won't pretend my season won't end
But I pray, when it's done, when it's through
I'll have something left for you
[Chorus]
If mercy's abound, I'll be safe, I'll be sound
And the devil won't know all the love I just couldn't let go
I won't pretend my season won't end
But I pray, when it's done, when it's through
I'll have something left for you
