Cranna of the Quiet Ridge

Intro

Mm

Mm-hmm

Echoes down the frozen river

Mm

Verse 1

They named the hollow where the hillside bends

Behind the moss that gathers on the pines

She kept her ledger of a hundred winters

And hung her lantern where the mist untwines

Pre-Chorus

Old Hannah fears no seal nor lock

Her curse outlives the turning clock

Chorus

Cranna, queen of the quiet ridge

Your roots run deep beneath the bridge

Cranna, keeper of the ragged vow

The woods still whisper your name somehow

Post-Chorus

Hannah, Hannah

Under the western moon

Verse 2

They crossed the frozen swamp to curse her name

They brought their cowherd and they brought their doubt

She turned their lanterns cold before the dawning

And every fire went quiet without

Pre-Chorus

She never bowed to iron or to stone

She walked the ridgebone all alone

Chorus

Cranna, queen of the quiet ridge

Your roots run deep beneath the bridge

Cranna, keeper of the ragged vow

The woods still whisper your name somehow

Breakdown

(On the third hill she waits and waits)

(The third stone marks the gate)

Bridge

Snow falls soft on Hag Rock shelf

She outlived the town she cursed herself

No church bell tolls her passing kind

She left her shadow far behind

Chorus

Cranna, queen of the quiet ridge

Your roots run deep beneath the bridge

Cranna, keeper of the ragged vow

The woods still whisper your name somehow

Post-Chorus

Hannah, Hannah

Under the western moon

Hannah, Hannah

You'll come again too soon
