Entropy (Song of the One-Legged Buzzard) Lyrics

Entropy; old friend I wondered when

Next we'd meet

You and me; two obstinate lovers with

Fists and teeth

And what if I stood on the bow

Looked off all the waves

Invited the depths

Would you swim up on the swell

tender and brave

delivered from death

Marjorie; cut from her mother and

Sent upstream

In the creek, a one-legged buzzard

Came down

And offered relief

And was she a terrible child

Angry and wild

Deserving revile

Or maybe just borne of the stream

Earning her keep

Alone in the reeds

The buzzard came down to the creek

Calls marjorie as she speaks through the limbs of the trees

He pulls her up into his wing

Leg in the breeze

As the storm carries over the sea
