Day 594 - Day 229

“Sunday morning 9 a.m. I saw fire in the sky. I felt my heart pound in my chest I heard an eagle cry”

Eagles Fly: Sammy Hagar, I Never Said Goodbye

 

This is another one of those songs that I discovered by accident. It was only after I discovered it that I heard Sammy play it live at a Van Halen concert.

 

This song has a great set of lyrics that we can all relate to- wanting to get away and escape. Literally I think that the entire song is just about wanting to get out of your current surroundings and fly away. Truth is, I’ve wanted to do that a LOT this year… if only I could fly.

Lyrics:

Sunday morning 9 a.m.

I saw fire in the sky

I felt my heart pound in my chest

I heard an eagle cry

Now I'm alive I can breathe the air

Feel the wind, smell the earth in the air

I watch an eagle rise above the trees

Project myself into what he sees

Hey-

Take me away

Come on and fly me away

Take me up so high

Where eagles fly

I often dream I sail through the sky

I've always wished I could fly

The simple life of a bird on the wing

Oh Lord, I could sing

Take me away

Come on fly me away

Lift me up so high

Where eagles fly

Oh yeah-

I'm alive, I breathe the air

Wash the earth from my face

I catch a glimpse of another dream

I turn, I look but there's no trace

Take me away

Come on, fly me away

I wanna fly away

Pick me up so high

Where eagles fly

Oh yeah-

Eagles fly, oh, take me away

Eagles fly, oh, take me away

Come on, let's fly away where eagles fly

Come on, fly away where eagles fly
