Asher White – The eagle is no omen Lyrics

The eagle is no omen – Asher White Lyrics

One claw, gold in the thaw

And the tide retreats the bay

Once close to shouldering ghosts

Until science healed the eggs

Don't take it for granted

Your health is even-handed

These walks on lavender rocks

To curve a changing waist

I flock, dampen my socks

Forget the way it tastes

You only think the chasm

Loves you like a son

So you disable yourself

Night after idle night

The flight, the wait, the line at the gate to Heaven's moving fast

That stuff is not good

Good for me

But keep it a secret

Could you keep it? Believe it

Could you keep it? Believe it

Could you keep it a secret?

Could you keep it a secret without believing?

When left, weaving the cleft

The clamshells in its wake

Installed, gathering salt

Will plead the sun to bake

But north, darkening dark will push along the page

The sage, the sash, the cleansing bath, are lit up on the stage

Those birds now swoop to a siren

Calling towards the flame

The blame, the sign, ambivalent pines, the sibilanted name
