The Crane Wife 3 - By: The Decemberists

And under the boughs unbowed
All clothed in a snowy shroud
She had no heart so hardened
All under the boughs unbowed

And I will hang my head, hang my head low
And I will hang my head, hang my head low

Each feather it fell from skin
'Til threadbare, 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 grey sky, a bitter sting
A raincloud, a crane on the wing
All out beyond horizon, oh
A grey sky, a bitter sting

And I will hang my head, hang my head low
And I will hang my head, hang my head low

Please Read The Letter - Robert Plant & Allison Kraus

Caught out running
With just a little too much to hide
Maybe baby
Everything's gonna turn out fine

Please read the letter
I nailed it to your door
It's crazy how it all turned out
We needed so much more

Too late, too late
A fool could read the signs
Maybe baby
You'd better check between the lines

Please read the letter,
I wrote it in my sleep
With help and consultation from
The angels of the deep

Once I stood beside a wall of many words
My house was full of rings and
Charms and pretty birds

Please understand me,
My walls came falling down
There's nothing here that's left for you
Check with lost and found

One more song
Just before we go
Remember baby,
You gotta reap just what you sow

Please read my letter
And promise me you'll keep
The secrets and the memories
We cherish in the deep

Please read my letter
I nailed it to your door
It's crazy how it all turned out
We needed so much more
