The Eagle’s Nest

Words and Lyrics by Kerns ©2007 Kernssongs

Verse 3

Perched on a limb of a dead cedar eyeing

The island, the lover & me

After an hour of watching and waiting

She dives for a walleye and soars to the east

Graceful she breathes

The same air as me

Verse 2

Lovely she’s nesting, constructing an island

Of stick for the future to come

Far from the city, the ugly, the dirty

Self-preservation gives hope the best home

And more room to roam

And rhyme for my poem

Chorus 2

I can see the light pollution from here

I can see the light pollution from here

I can see the light pollution from here

I can see the light pollution from here

Graceful she breathes

The same air as me

Verse 3

Ignoring the jesters at play on their island

As long as we’re out of her way

Under surveillance: the cold politicians,

The poachers, encroachers, the red dawn & May

Horizons will fade

Last mouse for the day

Chorus 2

Freedom is a revolution up here

Freedom is a revolution up here

Freedom is a revolution up here

Freedom is a revolution up here

Graceful she breathes

The same air as me
