Song language: English
Silver Eagle |
| It was so late and she’d be sleeping |
| He came through her home town |
| With the moonlight on the crossroads |
| And the green light shining down |
| And the bell at the railroad crossing |
| And the horn from far away |
| And his Silver Eagle passing |
| Half a mile from where she lay |
| At his feet a sea of faces |
| Make devotions with their love |
| Clap their hands and plead their cases |
| Call for blessings from above |
| Like the rolling waves forever massing |
| To crash and foam and creep away |
| And the Silver Eagle passing |
| Half a mile from where she lay |
| Road signs flow into the headlights |
| Whisper names and fall behind |
| He finds some honor in the darkness |
| Hopes for grace and peace of mind |
| And he thinks of how they’d lay together |
| He’d run his fingers through her hair |
| And he wonders if she’ll ever |
| Come to know that he was there |
