Lyrics Eagle Song - The Staves

Eagle Song

I am a cardinal red
I am of blood and of bones 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
In the foot of a statue of all battles lost, battles won
I remember you’re voice and you’re 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 okay
Call me in the morning I’m far away
Call me little darling and I’ll be fine
An eagle flew above us
Blankets wrapped around us
Lucky that she found us
Rooted to the ground
The eagle flew above us
Blankets wrapped around us
Lucky that she found us
Rooted to the ground
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 okay
Call me in the morning I’m far away
Call me little darling and I’ll be fine
