Bill Callahan - Jim Cain (Sometimes I Wish We Were an Eagle ) lyrics

I started out in search of ordinary things
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
