Pine needles blanket the red clay road
Steel cables carry a heavy load
The forest edge meets the gray wire line
Where rusted copper starts to shine
High above the cedar height
Catching every single light
Turning slow in midnight air
Watching over everywhere
Copper Vane in the golden glow
Spinning fast while the currents blow
Pointing North to the frozen peak
Searching for the truth we seek
Telephone poles stand in steady rows
Deep in the valley where the river flows
The metal bird watches the wind descend
Waiting for the season's bend
High above the cedar height
Catching every single light
Turning slow in midnight air
Watching over everywhere
Copper Vane in the golden glow
Spinning fast while the currents blow
Pointing North to the frozen peak
Searching for the truth we seek
A flash of orange in a sea of green
The sharpest edge that the woods have seen
It pivots round on a rusted pin
Letting all the wildness in
Hold the line in the winter gale
Silver frost on a copper scale
Break the chain of the steady beat
Feel the rush of the summer heat
Copper Vane in the golden glow
Spinning fast while the currents blow
Pointing North to the frozen peak
Searching for the truth we seek
The stars align with the humming wire
A sudden spark like a hidden fire
The weather turns on a sudden whim
While the forest light grows dim
Copper Vane in the golden glow
Spinning fast while the currents blow
Pointing North to the frozen peak
Searching for the truth we seek
Spinning fast in the golden glow
Northward now where the currents blow
Copper Vane
Copper Vane
