Last Lonely Eagle

If you go down 'round the bend in the river
You're gonna find a few changes been going down there
For the people who live 'round the bend in the river
Have forgotten their dreams as they cut off their hair

And take a last flying 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 flying 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 flying 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
And take a last flying 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
