Lyrics for Lovesong of the Buzzard
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 And 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
