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.

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.

this is something i wrote while humming a tune and making the chorus fit the tune so i had something to sing while i made pasta.
