Then as it was, then again it will be
Though the course may change sometimes
Rivers always reach the sea
Flying skies of fortune, each a separate way
On the wings of maybe, downin' birds of prey
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
But as the eagle leaves the nest, it's got so far to go

Changes fill my time, baby, that's all right with me
In the midst I think of you and how it used to be

[Guitar solo]

Did you ever really need somebody, ever need 'em bad?
Did you ever really want somebody, the best love you ever had?
Do you ever remember me, baby, did it feel so good?
'Cause it was just the first time, and you knew it would

Through the eyes an' sparkle, senses growing keen
Taste your love along the way, see your feathers preen
Kind of makes me feel sometimes, didn't have to grow
We are eagles of one nest, the nest is in our soul

Vixen in my dream, bring surprise to me
Never thought I'd see your face the way it used to be
Oh darlin', oh darlin'
Oh yeah, oh darlin'
Never gonna leave you, no
Never gonna leave, no
Holdin' on, ten years gone
Ten years gone, holdin' on, ten years gone
Holdin' on, ten years gone, ten years gone
Holdin' on, ten years gone, holdin' on
Never gonna leave you, woman
Never gonna leave you
Never gonna leave you, no
No, never gonna leave you, leave you
