The Crooked, The Cradle Lyrics - The Crane Wives

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 kill.' 

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.
