"Eagle Song" lyrics

"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
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
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 OK
Call me in the morning, I'm far away
Call me little darling and I'll be fine
