Lyrics

If you go down 'round the bend in the river
You're gonna find a few changes been going down there
'Cause the people who live 'round the bend in the river
Have forgotten their dreams and they've cut off their hair
And take a last flyin' 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
If you go down where the lights push the nighttime
Back far enough so you can't feel the fear
Remember the boy who you left on the mountain
Who's sitting alone with the stars and his tears
And take a last flyin' 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
If you go down to the gas-powered flatland
Where most of the people just think that they're free
Remember the peace that you had on the mountain
Come back to the love that you had here with me
And take a last flyin' 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
For you know that he never will land
