Last One Gone

歌詞

When my grandfather spoke about the eagle He would raise his face up to the sky The sunlight reflecting on the water And she flew so close as she passed by But that's just an old man's story, that I have never seen Cause rich men talked about the future And big change was ringing in their ears It's a one cry slipping into silence It was one voice never more to hear The clatter of the dozers, The smoke of the machine The edge is getting closer all the time The edge is getting closer all the time So light, lightly on the wind So far from where she'd always been I saw as if I could have known Leaving her home, flying alone That was the last one gone The last one gone Gone, gone in all its glory Gone and never said goodbye Gone, just an old mans story That was the last time she would fly Fly, fly lightly on the wind, Fly far, from where she?d always been I saw, as if I could have known Leaving her home, flying alone That was the last one gone The last one gone That was the last time she would fly Gone ................................ .............. © David Wilcox, all rights reserved
