Subject: DT Corr: Wings to Fly (CindyKallet) From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Feb 15 - 03:01 AM We're going to include Cindy Kallet's "Wings to Fly" in the upcoming Rise Again songbook. Here are the lyrics from Cindy's Website, http://cindykallet.com/ WINGS TO FLY (Crow) (Cindy Kallet) Crow mobbing up a hawk on soar Clouds soaring in the sky Me working down here on this rocky old earth Working on wings to fly, good lord I'm working on wings to fly New friend's catching up a fish tonight He's gonna haul 'em 'til the stars come tumbling down Me, I'm riding high tonight Been dreaming of him coming around, good lord I'm dreaming of him coming around Geese come rising out of the field Heading to the eastern shore Me, I'd fly on every wing Just to find you something more, dear friend Just to give you something more Shearwater swooping on an old gray wave North wind scooping up the sea These cold autumn days make me run with joy Looking for a way to be free, good lord I'm looking for a way to be me This moon's gonna keep me walking tonight This sky is gonna make me sing All I want is to share with you Something of this feeling, dear friend You're something of this feeling Crow mobbing up a hawk on soar Clouds soaring in the sky Hammering down here on this rocky old earth Working on wings to fly, good lord I'm working on wings to fly ©1981 Cindy Kallet BMI Recorded on Working on Wings to Fly Folk-Legacy Records FSI-83 www.cindykallet.com Here are the Digital Tradition lyrics. You can see there are problems... WORKIN' ON WINGS TO FLY (Cindy Kallet) Crow mobbin' up a hawk on soar Clouds soaring in the sky Me, I'm down here on this rocky old earth Working on wings to fly, good lord, I'm workin on wings to fly New friends catchin' up affairs tonight He's gonna them till the stars come tumblin' down Me I'm ridin high tonight Dreamin' of him comin' around Good Lord, thinkin' of him comin' around Geese come risin out of the field, headed to the eastern shore Me I'd fly on every wing Just find you something more dear friend, Just to give you something more Shearwater swoopin on an old gray whale, north winds whippin' up the sea These cold autumn days make me run with joy Lookin' for a way to be free Good Lord Lookin' for a way to be free This moon's gonna keep me walkin' tonight, The sky's gonna make me sing All I want is to share with you Something of this feeling dear man, something of this feeling Copyright Cindy Kallet filename[ WINGSFLY ED |
Subject: RE: Lyr Add: Wings to Fly (CindyKallet) From: Joe Offer Date: 28 Feb 15 - 03:08 AM In some ways, I like the lyrics we have in the Digital Tradition. This line is good:
Whatever the case, this is a wonderful birdwatcher's song, and it brings up a phenomenon I've often wondered about. I sometimes see blackbirds of various varieties, attacking much larger birds, especially buzzards and raptors. Anybody know something about this phenomenon, and can you explain it to us? Why are they attacking a much larger bird? It's not only the corvids that do this - redwing blackbirds do it, too (or are they corvids?). -Joe- |
Subject: RE: DT Correction: Wings to Fly (CindyKallet) From: Steve Gardham Date: 28 Feb 15 - 05:52 AM Don't know about in the States but over here many smaller birds will attack predators like crows to protect their eggs or even moreso their young. We don't have that problem too much in our garden. I think the crows and pyes are too wary of the sharp-beaked blackbirds but they do frequently target young stoggies (woodpigeons) and rip them to pieces. Whilst this can be distressing and messy it does keep the stoggie numbers under control to some extent. The parent birds will try their hardest to fend off the crows but the persistence of the bigger birds always wins in the end. |
