Golden Eagle Lyrics - Oliver

The old man stopped and thought 

Well, now I'm 85 

And while I'm still alive 

I must rectify a few things 

I never dreamed way back when I was 21 

There'd be so much left undone 

And I would never grow wings 

Should there be a need to delay my certain sunset 

Will there be a plan for me to try?

I know the only way to fly 

I must find a golden eagle 

Resting somewhere on the ground 

And ride him ever westward 

Never see the sun go down 

Sometimes the challenge presses hard upon my brow 

And I know the time is now 

But my wits are stiff and swollen 

I pay my dues and limp a rough and rocky climb 

As I try to buy some time 

Before the dark has fallen 

I am but a man 

Can I stop encroaching shadows? 

Would that I could keep the black away 

I have a scheme to save the day 

I will find a golden eagle 

Resting somewhere on the ground 

And ride him ever westward 

Never see the sun go down 

And I'll ride him for circles 

A hundred million times 

And then if I have finished 

All the half-done chores that I'm now facing 

I'll bring him on home
