Last One Gone Lyrics - David Wilcox

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
