LYRICS:
Words by Amanda Shires
Music by Amanda Shires and Lawrence Rothman
Like a common loon I started hearing birds
Birdsong everywhere a lark in the shower
From the night to the morning after Warblers and wrens, hymn at my throat Shook and quivering, I could have crowed Oh I could have crowed
I was snared by your wrist
I know what the cost is
The octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing and I know I could take it like a man I know I could take it like a man
Falls of fascinations the sky was leaking light like your eyes do that shipwrecked expression
I need more words for blue
Trilling in the tree the way I measure you Fractured thirteenths that grin that you give When you want me to quit
Falling further and falcon swift
I know what the cost is
In the octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing
And I know I can take it like a man
I know I can take it like a man I know I can take it like a man
Falling further and falcon swift
I know what the cost is
In the octaves of consequence
I know the cost of flight is landing
And I know I can take it like Amanda

Ok, you signed my fiddle in Richmond Va with my favorite line from this song last spring…this version surpasses that night. Your wings are truly ready. It’s been a Joy to watch you come into your own 🖤 Please come back and see us 🔜

This album has gotten me through 2023. Thank you Amanda. ❤

[@CowgirlConcerts]

"I know the cost of flight is landing" seems like a simple line, but the way it fits the tempo makes it such an epic line. Amazing performance.

[@RJDC7299]

'Like a calling loon...'
is that the first line?
'cause I resemble that remark.

I know the cost of flight is landing
And I know I can take it like Amanda

[@gordonanderson3111]

@@BengalKatzTantamount Oh, I thought she said 'In the absence of consequence..." which would make sense.
I AM no common loon.

[@gordonanderson3111]

Let us lend our minds
to no common Loon
both truth and consequence
I'll be daed by next June
be - cause
The cost
of life
is dying.
...wouldn't you say?
