IF YOU GO DOWN ROUND THE BEND IN THE RIVER 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
CHORUS: 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
CHORUS: 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
