Текст песни
[Куплет 1] I climbed before the sun cleared the ridge With a long lens knocking against my side At the overlook, the whole valley held still And a thermos-sized silence opened wide Then a shape rose clean from the firs below One hard turn, and the wind took hold [Предприпев] I found the rim of the viewfinder Held my breath and let the world come through [Припев] There you go, cutting across that blue Wings spread wide where the high air moves I caught the instant the mountains fell away One bright frame, and you were on your way Oh, i’ll remember that open sky And the eagle climbing higher than my eye [Куплет 2] The sun struck gold along your shoulder A white tail flashed like a signal flare You banked above the broken granite With the whole blue distance under there My finger found the shutter at last A single click, and the moment held fast [Предприпев] No fence line, no mark to follow Just a living arc against the blue [Припев] There you go, cutting across that blue Wings spread wide where the high air moves I caught the instant the mountains fell away One bright frame, and you were on your way Oh, i’ll remember that open sky And the eagle climbing higher than my eye [Бридж] Later, when the film came back in silver That small dark shape still seemed to rise Not because i’d kept the bird from leaving But because i’d seen it own the skies [Final chorus] There you go, cutting across that blue Wings spread wide where the high air moves I caught the instant the mountains fell away One bright frame, and you were on your way Oh, i’ll remember that open sky And the eagle climbing higher than my eye Higher than my eye [Аутро] One bright frame beneath that endless blue
