Holly Near - Don't Let the Singer Down (reprise) lyrics

I saw an eagle fly across the sun The flags came down without a sound I felt a pa**ion of mixed persuasion Just then the mountain came tumbling down I dreamed a rainbow spilled across the night I want to see it in my time The harbor opened to ships and saviors Just then the mountain came tumbling down If life is like the music Then be careful you can lose it And beware the singer How the lights come shining And I'm counting on my timing Oh, the band is playing fine Tell the cynic to kiss tomorrow All the moments are melodies And the songs I have borrowed They keep coming on back to me I'm standing on precious ground (Solid) Filling the air with sound Don't let the singer down I touched a hand that played a thousand drums A child escaped into the moon A rage exploded and spread like rumors Just then the mountain came tumbling down I saw an eagle fly across the sun The flags came down without a sound A soldier kissed me and ran for cover Just then the mountain came tumbling down
