Lyrics

Up the misty mountain
Wildflowers bind the ground
Down by the rushing river
Force will wear those boulders down
Me I'm underneath my covers
Me I'm trapped inside my brain
While up above the misty mountain
Up above the rushing river
Up above the bed of longing
The eagle takes the wind
The eagle takes the wind my friend
The eagle takes the wind
It makes me think of this my friend
Where does the eagle live in me?
O I am crawling through this city
I say the city will be my home
I say Ferron, you are halfway pretty
And may you never be alone
Be it scorn or be it favor
Be it but a moment gone
But I stood before the mirror
Like an open-ended cavern
Like a breath held inhaled, holding
And I barely knew my name
I barely knew my name my friend
I barely knew my name
It make me think of this my friend
Where do I live in me?
I barely knew my name my friend
I barely knew my name
It makes me think of this my friend
Where do I live in me?
O it's a planet of resistance
It's a whirling flame of choice
Are you my comrades in persistence
I swear they'll know us by our voice
Though we lay down in dusty corners
We are ragged as a scar
And when we rest our eyes they open
We are always off to war
We're always off to war my friend
We're always off to war
It makes me think of this my friend
Where can the quiet be?
O is it up the misty mountain
Where wild flowers bind the ground
Is it down by the rushing river
Where force wears those boulders down
Is it underneath my covers
Is it trapped inside my brain
Is it up above the misty mountain
Is it up above the rushing river
Is it up above the bed of longing
Where the eagle takes the wind (c'mon)
The eagle takes the wind (c'mon)
The eagle takes the wind (c'mon)
The eagle takes the wind
