David Wilcox - Last One Gone Lyrics
from Into The Mystery..............................................When my grandfather spoke about the eagleHe would raise his face up to the skyThe sunlight reflecting on the waterAnd she flew so close as she passed byBut that?s just an old man?s story, that I have never seenCause rich men talked about the futureAnd big change was ringing in their earsIt?s a one cry slipping into silenceIt was one voice never more to hearThe clatter of the dozers,The smoke of the machineThe edge is getting closer all the timeThe edge is getting closer all the timeSo light, lightly on the windSo far from where she?d always beenI saw as if I could have knownLeaving her home, flying aloneThat was the last one goneThe last one goneGone, gone in all its gloryGone and never said goodbyeGone, just an old mans storyThat was the last time she would flyFly, fly lightly on the wind,Fly far, from where she?d always beenI saw, as if I could have knownLeaving her home, flying aloneThat was the last one goneThe last one goneThat was the last time she would flyGone..............................................
