Eagle's Nest Lyrics

Caroline Smith & The Good Night Sleeps Eagle's Nest

[Chorus]
So bind up the French doors and lace your leather tight
I am taking you to the eagle's nest tonight

[Verse 1]
Singing a mother's work it is more than this
A mother's work it is more than this
My mother's work is more…

[Verse 2]
I am 21, and I am a golden gate
My hands aren't married yet
But my brother's sings in his sleep
Bring her home to you
Lord, bring her home
And the silent wind cradles a field of grain
Where my father swept knee-deep with his plow
And he's humming a daughter's worth is more this
My daughter's worth is more

[Chorus]
So bind up the French doors and lace your leather tight
I am taking you to the eagle's nest tonight

[Verse 3]
Singing a mother's work is more than this
My mother's work is more
