lyrics

Strange and wonderful
Under cover of night
Possessed with perception
In the dim light
Silently flying you are
Elusive and feathered and far

A sign of good luck
Augur of demise
Inspiring legends
Puzzling and wise
You’re not as big as you seem
I met you once in a dream

Carry what you caught
All the broke goods that you bought
You see everything
Diving high
Your beauty stings

Long in the legs
Face shaped like a heart
Thrust your feet forward
Toes spread apart
There is a hole in your chest
Reject what you can’t digest

Eternal ghost bird
You call as you please
Resting and hidden
Alone in the trees
Surprising prey on the ground
Devouring what you have found
