BIG COUNTRY FLY LIKE AN EAGLE

BIG COUNTRY FLY LIKE AN EAGLE
Hey little lady don't you hear my call
Standing by the shadows in your heels so tall
Hey little lady you were only seventeen
When you left home for the city that you saw in your dreams

Cry little angel wipe the tears from your eyes
Stay a little longer leave the rain outside
Searching for something that something can buy
That you stole all the gold from your mother's pocket

You said you're lonely far from home
From the place you knew
For if the truth be told you're far too old for that sin
Well I can tell by the look in your sweet blue eyes
There's an angel coming out
Spread your wings and fly

Fly like an eagle spread your wings now
Soar up on into the sky
Fly like an eagle spread your wings now
For I know in your sweet blue eyes

Hey big brother can you spare me a dime
I've been out in the cold walking a thin white line
Stealing from the bottle is the road I took
And I sure can't find a way out of this prison

Staring at the people as they walk on my corner
Watch out for the man in the big black suit
Spare me a dime so I can burn the pain
He said the pain gets stronger as the bottle gets empty

You said you're lonely far from home
From the place you knew
For if the truth be told you're far too old for that sin
Well I can tell by the look in your sweet blue eyes
There's an angel coming out
Spread your wings and fly

Fly like an eagle spread your wings now
Soar up on into the sky
Fly like an eagle spread your wings now
For I know in your sweet blue eyes

Fly like an eagle spread your wings now
Soar up on into the sky
Fly like an eagle spread your wings now
For I know in your sweet blue eyes

the only bc song sung by bruce watson great song

[skapaul69]

Lyrics & Music: Bruce Watson

*The original version of "Fly Like an Eagle" was mastered at the wrong speed on the "Beautiful People" single. The 'In a Big Country' compilation has the correct speed version.

[skapaul69]

"The track was printed at the wrong speed by accident, probably by record company during mastering. The song was written in an afternoon at REL studios in Edinburgh. The label needed a song quick and the rest of the band were unavailable so I went in that afternoon and recorded all parts myself. Unfortunately I had to sing as well as write the lyrics, not one of my strengths..." - Bruce Watson (responding to a post on his website)

Don't sell yourself short Bruce. This song sounds great.I think the words are written well and you vocalized them good...with good timing and tempo.

I didn't even realize Bruce had a voice up til now, but not bad indeed! And he turns out to be a multi-instrumentalist as well.

Good to discover some new stuff after such a while too!
