The Staves - Eagle Song

I am a cardinal, red

I am of blood and of bone

And of heart and of head

A thousand miles ahead and behind

Oh, to be lost,

Oh, to be wasting my time

On a hill we lay in the sun

At the foot of a statue

Of old battles lost, battles won

I remember your voice and your clothes

A well chosen passage of words

From a book I don’t know

Oh me, oh my, oh man, what have I become?

Running around

Writing letters I’ll never send home

Call me in the morning I’ll be alright

Call me in the morning I’ll be alright

Call me little honey and I’ll be fine

Call me in the morning, I’ll be OK

Call me in the morning, I’m far away

Call me little darling and I’ll be fine

The eagle flew above us

Blankets wrapped around us

Lucky that she found us

Rooted to the ground

X2

No-one will believe us

Mountains as our witness

Blankets wrapped around us

The eagle flew above

By the lake

So high

So high

Call me in the morning I’ll be alright

Call me in the morning I’ll be alright

Call me little honey and I’ll be fine

Call me in the morning, I’ll be OK

Call me in the morning, I’m far away

Call me little darling and I’ll be fine
