Iron & Wine - Lovesong Of The Buzzard Lyrics






In the failing light of the afternoon
Lucy in the shade of the dogwood blooms
Yesterday the solace of a poison fish
Tomorrow I'll be kissing on her blood red lips

No one is the saviour they would like to be
The lovesong of the buzzard in the dogwood tree
With a train of horses laughing through the traffic line
And the cradle's unimaginative sense of time

Springtime and the promise of an open fist
A tattoo of a flower on a broken wrist
Lucy tells me jokingly to wipe her brow
With a pocket map to heaven and the sun goes down

    In the failing light of the afternoon
    Lucy in the shade of the dogwood blooms
    Yesterday the solace of a poison fish
    Tomorrow I'll be kissing on her blood red lips
    No one is the savior they would like to be
    The love song of the buzzard in the dogwood tree
    With a train of horses laughing through the traffic line
    And the cradle's unimaginative sense of time
    Springtime and the promise of an open fist
    A tattoo of a flower on a broken wrist
    Lucy tells me jokingly to wipe her brow
    With a pocket map to heaven and the sun goes down

    Maybe, from the "a tattoo of a flower on a broken wrist" part...?
