lyrics

How does she not notice,
The way the sun alights
Upon her shoulders branches
With talons clasping tight?

How does she not wonder
Why the breeze breathes in
Why the wind corrals around her
In flocks of beating wings?

Merlin, swoop down
Kestrel, bring her back somehow

Oh, her heart, a nest of tangles
Oh, my heart, are you still able
to fly, to fly?

How does she not notice
The clouds bank in their flight
To turn soft eyes upon her
As she stumbles through the pines?

How does she not wonder
Why the thunder calls her name
Why the lightning shrieks a signal—
A beacon beckoning her home again?

Merlin, swoop down
Kestrel, bring her back somehow
