NRPS: "Last Lonely Eagle"

New Riders of the Purple Sage
Bearsville Theater, Woodstock, New York
12/28/07

if you go down
to the gas-powered flatland
where most of the people
just think that they’re free
remember the peace
that you had on the mountain
come back to the love
that you had here with me
and take a last flying look
at the last lonely eagle
he’s soaring the length of the land
shed a tear for the fate
of the last lonely eagle
for you know that he never will land
