Janet K. Brennan - The Eagle lyrics

My mountain trail ends At Old Persevere Peak I made it through the Falls When suddenly a shadow great Consumed these tired cliff walls Amazing is its wing span So fearless in the sky Its monstrous shadow cooled me Eyes guided me from high It circles round that rocky gorge With smaller birds en-tow Then off it flew, beyond my sight The sun now sinking low The home fires call me to return My friend is not in sight A lonesome trek back to the camp Where is my care tonight? When just as I reach trail's end I feel a wind aloft And there's ole Eagle perched so high On yonder Craggy Rock He will not end his mission 'Till I am safe asleep And even then, I know he's there My guardian and my keep
