The eagle looked down on the river below And he wrapped his wings round him And he felt like a stone And the big salmon fought but the talons held true And he shuttered as the world turned From silver to blue I stood there in awe though I'd seen it before I was born in these mountains And I'll die here for sure I've traveled around I've seen city lights But nothin' that shined like a big sky at night [Chorus] Some mornings will find me up above the timberline Lonesome don't seem like much once you're this high When it's all said and done I usually find Me and the eagle are of the same mind Now when I was young I took me a wife But she never took to the high country life So now I'm alone I don't really mind But her name echoes down form the canyon sometimes [Chorus] In my dreams there's a horse, He stands eighteen hands high He's as whit as the snow and there's fire in his eyes And he'll bare only me though other have tried And together we'll travel up across the divide [Chorus]
