Title: IF YOU GO DOWN ROUND THE BEND IN THE RIVER
Post by: crobbins on August 17, 2009, 07:38:00 PM

YOU?RE GONNA FIND A FEW CHANGES  
BEEN GOING DOWN THERE
?CAUSE THE PEOPLE WHO LIVE  
ROUND THE BEND IN THE RIVER
HAVE FORGOTTEN THEIR DREAMS  
AND THEY?VE CUT OFF THEIR HAIR

And take a last flying look at the last lonely eagle
He's soaring the length of the land
Shed a tear for the fate of the last lonely eagle
For you know that he never will land

If you go down where the lights push the nighttime
Back far enough so you can?t feel the fear
Remember the boy who you left on the mountain
Who's sitting alone with the stars and his tears

Alright, someone's gotta do it.
 
If you go down to the gas-powered flatland
Where most of the people just think that they're free
Remember the peace that you had on the mountain
Come back to the love that you had here with me.
 
Bill, tgo

My apologies guys, it was just getting a bit too maudlin here. My further apologies, as I don't know the artist or the lyrics; very nice though.
