And high above the world
In days and years gone by
i see the eagle leave its nest
and smile to see her fly.
She left me near a year ago
She kissed me then she left
But i was a fool who cried to hard
Never saw the eagle in its nest
And high above the world
In days and years gone by
i see the eagle leave its nest
and smile to see her fly.
I thought no one was sad as me
Thought no heart as broke as mine
Thought i was alone again
So i drank the beer and then the wine
And high above the world
In days and years gone by
i see the eagle leave its nest
and smile to see her fly.
But now i know whats done is done
I know whats past is past
back then i should have knew
this love would never last
And high above the world
In days and years gone by
i see the eagle leave its nest
and smile to see her fly.
Now i sit on the grassy hill
by the house where we met
And now i smile and i don't cry
to see the eagle fly
And high above the world
In days and years gone by
i see the eagle leave its nest
and smile to see her fly.
