Ian & Sylvia — Last Lonely Eagle

[Verse 1] If you go down 'round the bend in the river You're gonna find a few changes been goin' down there For the people who live 'round the bend in the river Have forgotten their dreams as they cut off their hair [Chorus] And take a last dying look at the last lonely eagle He's soaring the length of the land Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle For you know that he never will land [Verse 2] If you go down where the lights push the nighttime Back far enough, so you can't feel the fears Remember the boy who you left on the mountain Who's sitting alone with the stars and his tears [Chorus] And take a last dying look at the last lonely eagle He's soaring the length of the land Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle For you know that he never will land [Verse 3] If you go down to the gas-powered flatlands Where most of the people just think that they're free Remember the peace that we had on the mountain Come back to the love that you had here with me [Chorus] And take a last dying look at the last lonely eagle He's soaring the length of the land Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle For you know that he never will land [Chorus] And take a last dying look at the last lonely eagle He's soaring the length of the land Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle For you know that he never will land
