Iron & Wine- Lovesong Of The Buzzard Lyrics

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

[Iron & Wine- Lovesong Of The Buzzard Lyrics]
