Red Tailed Hawk – Bill Callahan & Bonnie “Prince” Billy (feat. Matt Kinsey) (originally by The Other Years)

There’s a long flight bird afar
Exhausting in the sapphire jar
A sure sky, flattered sky
A dome sky, Saint Jerome sky
Quivering flight, red-tailed hawk
To cut out the starling flock

Starlings together, starlings part
Starlings flutter, starlings art

It’s a low flight, hovering ground
Questions, no settlement to be found
The locust tree, the feather is free
The wayward wind has found a friend
Traveling air, has full memory
The bird has not had time to mend
