Bill Callahan - Jim Cain (Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle ) lyrics
[Bill Callahan - Jim Cain Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle lyrics]
How much of a tree bends in the wind
I started telling the story
Without knowing the end
I used to be darker, then I got lighter
Then I got dark again
Something too big to be seen was
Passing over and over me
Well it seemed like a routine case at first
With the death of the shadow
Came a lightness of verse
But the darkest of nights, in truth
Still dazzles
And I work myself until I'm frazzled
I ended up in search of ordinary things
Like how can a wave possibly be?
I started running
And the concrete turned to sand
I started running
And things didn't pan out as planned
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
In case things go poorly and I not return
Remember the good things I've done
Oh oh oh oh oh done me in
