Lyrics:
Kestrels breed
Looking farther than I can see
Without tact to read
She'd take a shine to me
Beacon don't fly too high
Beacon don't fly too high

For all your time
Playful crime in rain
Worth it being cold
Roofing for the lanes
A lesson lost again
A lesson lost again

Cute but I'll take the bus
With fees and favours gone
Cracks in savers pass
And a white that sometimes shone
Wanton borrowed gun
Wanton borrowed gun

Kestrels breed
Looking farther than I can see
Without tact to read
She'd take a shine to me
Beacon don't fly too high
Beacon don't fly too high

Beacon don't fly too high

Cute but I'll take the bus
(Beacon don't fly too high)
With fees and favours gone
Cracks in savers pass
And a white that sometimes shone
(Beacon don't fly too high)
Wanton borrowed gun
