Buzzards of Hinckley (Still Remind Me of You)

Sweetheart, the buzzards of Hinckley
Still remind me of you.
Their return marks distinctly
When I’m lonesome and blue.
It was Buzzards’ Day last year
You swore you’d always be true.
As buzzards circle en masse, Dear,
I wish you’d migrate back, too.

The buzzards darkend this skyline
When you promised last Spring
You’d come back to be all mine,
Wedding bells soon would ring.
Buzzards’ Day is here now, Love,
The happy crowds dance and sing;
But you have broken your vow, Love,
It’s only misery they bring.

Twilight is grayin the pathway,
Buzzards wing overhead.
They hear me curse the black day
I believed we would wed.
Buzzard feathers are brown, Babe—
Like me, their faces are red.
I feel them staring me down, Babe—
Like me, they wish I was dead.

Chorus

Sittin by Buzzards’ Lake, Dear,
Sunken down through and through.
Ranger says I can’t stay here
While the sun’s sinkin too.
He says the birds’ll come next year,
I tell him this can’t be true—
Dear, even the buzzards of Hinckley
Can’t carry on without you.
