Lyrics

The eagle looked down on the river below
And he wrapped his wings 'round him, and he fell like a stone
And the big Salmon fought, but the talons held true
He shuddered as the world turned from silver to blue
I stood there in awe, though I'd seen it before
I was born in these easy mountains, and I'll die here for sure
And I've traveled around, I've seen city lights
But nothin' that shined like the big sky at night
Some mornings will find me up above the timberline
Lonesome don't seem like much once you're this high
And when it's all said and done, I usually find
Me and the eagle are of the same mind
Now when I was young, I took me a wife
Oh, but she never took to the high country life
So now I'm alone, I don't really mind
But her name echoes down from the canyon sometimes
Some mornings will find me up above the timberline
Lonesome don't seem like much once you're this high
But when it's all said and done, I usually find
That me and the eagle are of the same mind
In dreams there's a horse, he stands 18 hands high
He's as white as the snow and there's fire in his eyes
And he'll bare only me, though others have tried
And together we'll travel up across the divide
Some mornings will find us up above the timberline
Lonesome don't seem like much once you're this high
But when it's all said and done, I usually find
That me and the eagle are of the same mind
Me and the eagle are of the same mind
