Listen to the track:
[Verse 1]
Early light on the pasture ground
A silence broken by the sound
Of wings above the morning haze
Wide and slow in graceful phase
A shape against the azure blue
Higher than the seagulls flew
They circle once then rise and fall
We stop to listen for their call
[Chorus]
Kee-ah kee-ah high and free
Over hedge and field and sea
Riding wind that we can’t see
The buzzards fly for you and me
[Verse 2]
Crows come out with noisy pride
Dancing at the buzzard’s side
Seagulls dive with reckless aim
But still the hunter stays the same
No fluster just a single sweep
A shadow passing over sheep
Then gone again with wings outspread
A ruler of the sky o’erhead
[Chorus]
Kee-ah kee-ah high and free
Over hedge and field and sea
Riding wind that we can’t see
The buzzards fly for you and me
[Bridge]
We walk these lanes we till this land
But never with that same command
They own the air they own the view
A call that always carries through
[Verse 3]
Evening comes the skies turn red
They settle quiet near the shed
On telegraph or twisted tree
They perch like sentries watching me
Tomorrow when the sun climbs high
We’ll see them paint across the sky
And once again their cry will start
A wild clean echo through the heart
[Chorus]
Kee-ah kee-ah high and free
Over hedge and field and sea
Riding wind that we can’t see
The buzzards fly for you and me
