Aloft (lyrics J. Eagle)

An off-kilter Mussel Shoals morphs with The Lawrence Welk Show after one too many beers sound. Lyrics J. Eagle / music & performance - edro

Like the stars in the sky, each bright in their own right
shinin' bright in the sky more than I can visualize.
And though one man here I stand
Offering this lovin' hand
I'm like a feather deft and true, aloft in the supple wind.

Chorus
Aloft, aloft is what I am
Looking for my love again
Can she be in this sky
Or will I just pass her by?

I follow her with painted breath
Desire trembling in my chest
Her soul so tawny in the light
Love calls this lonely heart
Birds streak on a wing
Love caught in the draft
Restless clouds across the sky
The brightest night in this life

Chorus
Aloft, aloft is what I am
Looking for my love again
Can she be in this sky
Or will I just pass her by?

Catch the scent of the prey
Such things happen every day
All we are is what we want
Fill my heart with tenderness
Night is givimg to the dawn
Morning sounds its alarm
Day stands before us in our time
Oh darling please throw me a line

Chorus
Aloft, aloft is what I am
Looking for my love again
Can she be in this sky
Or will I just pass her by?

@dmio2 ...you give me a whole new way to listen to this!

[dmio2]

Now this is very cool. You sang this very well. It kind of reminded me of John Lennon. Your backing tracks always have so many things going on... its fun to listen to and try to pick out what's happening. I like these lyrics alot too... I don't usually dig the whole "longing for love" deal cuz so many depressed acoustic players have beat it to death... But I thought this really worked. 5 stars for sure.
