lyrics

9. Sean Foley’s Blues

I saw an eagle on a pole
At least I think it was an eagle
But it could have been a hawk or crow
I was looking through the dirty airport window

Then I turned my head and saw you instead
Checking your suitcase for California
And when I returned, the bird had burned
While the metal mothers slowly circled, taxiing

I wrote you a long letter yesterday
Folded and trapped it in an envelope
I should have sent a single postcard, I guess
Greetings from the floating casino

I know how precious time itself is
Whether you’re passing, spending, or killing it
The gambler’s prize will be bloodshot eyes
And a complimentary breakfast by the slot machines

I wish you the best, forget the rest
Of what I said when I was sick
I missed your skin so I asked the wind
To tear you from me quick

I saw an eagle on a pole
At least I think it was an eagle
But it could have been a hawk or crow
I was looking through the dirty airport window

That was months ago, before the snow
Taught all of us here about how things turn
But you have chosen the sun and ocean
So I guess you’ll never have to learn

Will you, my love?
