The Eagle by The Wilder Blue Lyrics

[Verse 1]
I was born here but I don't belong here
It feels like I'm in the right place but the wrong year
And your hometown don't feel like home now
You sit and watch the world roll by just feelin' low now

[Chorus]
Does an eagle feel when he's flying
That his way of livin' is dyin'?
Does he wish that Western wind
Would blow him far away?
And if it could, would it matter anyway?

[Verse 2]
I had the answers when I was younger
Even when I didn't I could get by on the hunger
Time is a river, I've always been a swimmer
But sometimes nowadays I can feel it pullin' me under

[Chorus]
Does an eagle feel when he's flying
That his way of livin' is dyin'?
Does he wish that Western wind
Would blow him far away?
And if it could, would it matter anyway?
[Verse 3]
I've been drivin' straight at the horizon
All through the long dark night but the sun is risin'
Think I've got a wing-man, I saw the shadow of a wing-span
I can't see when this road goes but I'm hopin' maybe he can

[Chorus]
Does an eagle feel when he's flying
That his way of livin' is dyin'?
Does he wish that Western wind
Would blow him far away?
And if it could, would it matter anyway?
