Sucked on a pipe and I started thinking, that must be when I started drinking, as grants came in and then wore thin, I was depending on my needy needs, watched the rushes billowing back and forth, the sway of reeds, but one leaf pushed against the rest, that was you, and I knew it, from the start, that you would take my hand and we would look for eagles soaring overhead, watch for eagles.
Overhead and under stars, precipice where we look far, pull our beaks into our chins, gaze and start to wandering, pout for baubles that we need, not to be but to not be.
Like tumbleweeds where once were fish, or heap of soil where once was ditch, we take our omens freely in the sin we both came in with with the best of intentions, watch for eagles, watch for eagles, watch for eagles.
I'd lost track of which of your pets were sick, recovered, or'd gone dead. Foot to mouth is my disease, my virtue signal disaster please, but it did please you just to know that I might still be waiting here alone, it pleased me too to know you watched for eagles.
Halcyon uplifting days, wind in updraft wings for days, hold them out and you might fly, who's to say? You've never tried to be an eagle, watch for eagles.
A clear blue sky and someday you and I would join hands watch out for eagles of love.
Woozy, rollicking indie rock that's thick and humid, searching vocals set against pealing guitars. Also available on cassette. Bandcamp New & Notable Aug 22, 2016
