ERIC WOOLFSON:
Poe - More Tales of Mystery & Imagination
Wings Of Eagles
You look through a window and you
You see the rain falling outside
But how do you know what I see
Through my eyes?
(My eyes)
Something extraordinary,
Out of the ordinary,
So come take a look at the world
Through my eyes...
Wings of eagles,
Voices like thunder,
Lifting me up to drink from the cup
And fill me with wonder...
You look in the mirror and you
You see a reflection inside
Well how would you know what I see
In my mind?
(My mind)
Look for an inspiration,
Use your imagination,
I'll take you to places I've been
In my mind...
Look at the sky...
Is there a heaven out there?
What do you see?
Is it a road to nowhere?
I see a mountain high
That reaches to the sky forever
Out of the blue--
All the bells in heaven ring in my ears...
Wings of eagles,
Voices like thunder,
Lifting me up to drink from the cup
And fill me with wonder...
Wings of eagles,
Voices like thunder,
Lifting me higher, flame to the fire
Dragging me under...
You look in the fire and you
See the flames dance before you;
Oh what a picture they paint
In my eyes...
(My eyes)
Shadows will mystify you,
Silence with hypnotize you,
Taking a look at the world
Through my eyes...
Look at the stars--
Must be a heaven somewhere,
What can you see?
Who do you think is out there?
I hear a symphony
Arising in the air foever
Out of the blue--
All the choirs in heaven are singing for me...
For me...
Wings of eagles,
Voices like thunder,
Lifting me up to drink from the cup
And fill me with wonder...
Wings of eagles,
Voices like thunder,
Lifting me higher, flame to the fire
Dragging me under...
Under...
Immortal
I was adrift on an ocean of dreams
I was amazed...
And as I sail to the end of the world
I'm not afraid...
Mournful moon and willow tree
Tell the world not to weep for me
And I will be set free...
I took a drink from a bottle of wine
And I was changed...
Made a deal with the devil inside
And I was shamed...
I have sailed on stormy seas
Where the four winds blow me;
Shining moon and willow tree
Tell the world--remember me
For I will be set free...
All that we see,
All that we seem
Is but a shadow of a shadow
Of a dream within a dream;
But if a tree is evergreen,
Then maybe part of us
Could be eternal...
Though tangled life
May be no more,
A drop rain upon the ocean
Grain of sand upon the shore
The words will live forevermore
If you can hear me now,
Am I immortal?
Magic mood and willow tree
If they ask about me,
Tell the truth, and they might learn;
Light a candle and watch it burn...
Then I will be set free...
Free as a bird
Upon the wind,
Now all the trials and tribulations
Of the world don't mean a thing;
Above the clouds
I'll fly away--
Was it my imagination,
Did the stars come out to play?
Beyond the sun--
Eternal flame,
I hear a chorus of a million voices
Calling out my name;
But all I see and all I seem
Is but a shadow of a shadow
Of a dream within a dream,
Free as the wind--
Lighter than air
Free from the jealous minds,
The scornful, bitter words
Won't hurt me there
And I will live forevermore--
If you remember me,
I am immortal!
