Staves, The - Eagle Song Lyrics

This is amazing!

I am a cardinal, red
I am of blood and of bone
And of heart and of head
A thousand miles ahead and behind
Oh, to be lost,
Oh, to be wasting my time
On a hill we lay in the sun
At the foot of a statue
Of old battles lost, battles won
I remember your voice and your clothes
A well chosen passage of words
From a book I don't know
Oh me, oh my, oh man, what have I become?
Running around
Writing letters I'll never send home
Call me in the morning I'll be alright
Call me in the morning I'll be alright
Call me little honey and I'll be fine
Call me in the morning, I'll be OK
Call me in the morning, I'm far away
Call me little darling and I'll be fine
The eagle flew above us
Blankets wrapped around us
Lucky that she found us
Rooted to the ground
X2
No-one will believe us
Mountains as our witness
Blankets wrapped around us
The eagle flew above
By the lake
So high
So high
Call me in the morning I'll be alright
Call me in the morning I'll be alright
Call me little honey and I'll be fine
Call me in the morning, I'll be OK
Call me in the morning, I'm far away
Call me little darling and I'll be fine

Unreal!!! You beloved sisters remind me so much of my beautiful aunty Avalon. Thank you so much. 🌼

Other worldly harmonizing

UHHHHH epic

Maravilhosas

I love all their Take Away Shows, but this one is my absolute favorite...so pure, organic and free, just like the eagle they're singing about.

💞🦋ヽ♡｀♪ ｀、 💕

this is what I have been looking for all my life!!!

My sister and I love the Staves. We always loved to sing together but it was this band that inspired us to actually share our voices.. please listen to our cover ❤️ https://youtu.be/klEVteP5V-A

Oh my god full body goosebumps and it doesn't cost a thing.

Sometimes you don’t really know what magic you are looking for until it presents itself, smack, in your face. There’s something sublime being embodied when these ladies sing. What beauty in harmony, both in music and environment.

Seen them live a couple of weeks ago. They're quite simply amazing!

4:20 Just leaving a comment for myself

get them on tiny desk asap

these womyn are so incredible <3

Simplesmente amei muito bom

where is it ?

I shedded tears through this song and that was what I really needed.

re-visiting this song now i think they sound like judee sill to me.

Oh this is so incredibly special. Especially the moment from 4:20 til just around 4:40.. Ahh there are no words for it

you are playing now in vama veche (Romania) and ppl are loving it

Umm I kind of feel like I'm part of the odyssey thanks beautiful sirens

sublime has new meaning

Truly sublime

I just adore the sounds of the ocean in the background amongst their beautiful harmonies. Ugh in love

NICK DRAKE IN 3 FORMS YO

incredible

These ladies are stunningly classy ... I've fallen under their spell and will stay there for the rest of my life <3 <3 <3

I am a cardinal red
I am of blood and of bones and of heart and of head
A thousand miles ahead and behind
Oh to be lost, oh to be wasting my time

On a hill we lay in the sun
In the foot of a statue of all battles lost, battles won
I remember you're voice and you're clothes
A well chosen passage of words from a book I don't know

Oh me, oh my, oh man what have I become
Running around writing letters I'll never send home

Call me in the morning I'll be alright
Call me in the morning I'll be alright
Call me little honey and I'll be fine

Call me in the morning I'll be okay
Call me in the morning I'm far away
Call me little darling and I'll be fine

An eagle flew above us
Blankets wrapped around us
Lucky that she found us
Rooted to the ground

The eagle flew above us
Blankets wrapped around us
Lucky that she found us
Rooted to the ground

No one will believe us
Mountains as our witness
Blankets wrapped around us
The eagle flew above

By the lake
So high, so high

Call me in the morning I'll be alright
Call me in the morning I'll be alright
Call me little honey and I'll be fine

jesus shit you blow my mind.

i hope this isn't saying the wrong thing but a compliment; The Staves are the female vesion of crosby Stills and Nash's first album; such high-reaching harmonys. Wow, I love the Staves. This is real music.

This is beautiful--music, scenery, musicians, cinematography... love it!

they really nail it in this vid, i reckon it's better than the recorded version

I'm 4 years late, I feel betrayed for not finding them sooner

I can't even sing those notes sat still let alone whilst clambering over Cornish landscape! Incredible

This is so full of life and beauty. It kind of has a fleet foxes vibe. Amazing. Thank you Blogothèque for bringing this to the world.

Jorge Casanova way better than Fleet Foxes I think

Proof that dogs can make everything better- they'd achieved perfection, then the camera cut to the dog & it was even better :D They are incredible musicians, these harmonies are insanely beautiful & the countryside is gorgeous! Great video :)

love you girls <3

See my review for 'If I Was' right here ! : http://stcolorreviews.blogspot.com/2017/04/the-staves-if-i-was-review.html

the dogs made me smile! :)

love it

Reminds me of the sirens in the best way possible!

I recognize it's weird to adore strangers, but I love these women so much!

the girlgroup version of Crosby, Stills and Nash :)

Goddamn, these harmonies. Brought a tear to my eye.

Everything these ladies do and stage is overwehlmingly classy ... <3 <3 <3 ... XXX Manzi

Thank Uuu, warms my heart ;)

I play guitar, but I don't really know anything about different tunings, would someone be so kind and tell me what is the tuning they're using? I don't get this, and I want to play this song so bad haha.

Open D (D A D F# A D)

thanks! ;D

The tuning is actually open C (C - G - C - E - G - C) not Open D.

I had it figured it out already, but thanks anyway!

I absolutely love their music. Makes my soul sing and weep all at once..

This is so pure, so unique, so ... I undyingly love The Staves! XXX Manzi

I prefer this to the studio version by far. Amazing.

Couldn't agree more. They are magical live. P.S. Awesome screen name.

this is genius, the music comes out so natural, i'm obsessed with this video <3

A great song and great atmosphere, but come on, it's got to be an overdub. The sound quality can't possibly be that good in a field recording as they walk across the hillside.....right?

right you are ,wish my mum was still here to here the angle es rip christin Cathie's long. god rest her soul Derry loves her

Marc Hirschmann go watch them play live and you'll know it's not. Best harmonies I've ever heard.

they might be wearing wireless mics beneath their clothes

Sure is a great job on the sound. The giggle at 3:22 makes it sound live, but there has to be some editing going on for the crew to follow them down at 3:40

Shades of Nick Drake. Love it

Unreal. Joan Baez, Linda Perhacs and Joni Mitchell can die in peace now.
No offence intended to all Canadians and USA'ers.
It's just a figure of speech.

uh is that the sound of actual seagulls? amazing

Love the song, the setting, the sounds of the wind and the sea against those sublime voices. Love these girls.........

This is one of the most beautiful things I've ever seen.

Same taste. What else is beautiful? I'll love it too. Thanks!

those grillllss are amazing ,

This is a sirens' call. I'd certainly crash the rocks with my ship listening to those voices. Beautiful voices...

Most beautiful song from The Staves in my opinion, so in love with them, thank you so much for this video, got chills all over

Lovely thankyou

Beautiful Sirens. What a treat as I paint in my studio this 4th of July.

How do they exist.

Got pulled from their mums’ cunts

They were carved from the teet of Hera

how could they *not* exist?

5:05 = Album cover.

This is like a dream.

all my love to all of you soulful beings that uplift my heart with your sweet melodies...remedys, that uplift my heart from moment to moment. Thank you for being all the light that you are

That was amazing. How the heck did you record it? 

Looks like some kind of consentual camera / microphone arrangement.

this+evasion= killing spree

Easily one of the best live performances I've ever heard. Cannot wait for the album :) 

As I like Peter,Paul and Mary also I love your music!

Those harmonies are so beautiful 

La simplicité sans fard, le talent et une source d'apaisement émanent de ces trois chanteuses qui à travers l'harmonie de leurs voix nous enchantent et font vibrer ce qu'il y a de plus beau dans le chant !

their voices and the sound of the ocean take me to a better place

everything about this is stunningly beautiful. the nature, the voices, the women, the harmonies

These lovely ladies are the best. Big fan.

This is magical

Unbelievable.completely perfect.

amazing videoo!!!!! location helps!! and the girls are divine! 

I think I'm in heaven * u *

3.12 killed me. OMG. <3

 Absolutely fantastic! Found this by accident....my lucky day :)

**Lovely voices, lovely song, lovely ladies**
 **The Staves**

Muito bom!

Soy su fan, las quiero mucho <3. me encanta como se mezcla el sonido del mar, de las gaviotas... con esta hermosa canción.4:42 mi momento favorito :)

I'm inlove! I need to learn how to play this!

these girls are so cool!

Very cool song and video............
