The Rest of the song continues like that, but here are the lyrics anyway, enjoy :)

It was a white crane

It was a helpless thing

Upon a red stain

With an arrow its wing

And it called and cried

And it called and cried so

And it called and cried

And it called and cried so

And all the stars were crashing 'round

As I laid eyes on what I'd found

My crane wife, my crane wife

My crane wife, my crane wife

Now I helped her

And I dressed her wounds

And how I held her

Beneath the rising moon

And she stood to fly

And she stood to fly away

And she stood to fly

She stood to fly away

And all the stars were crashing 'round

As I laid eyes on what I'd found

My crane wife, my crane wife

My crane wife, my crane wife
