An Eagle Soars

in #poetry7 years ago (edited)
Our old cold world is bleeding legends… A tribute to Glenn Frey… Everybody loves you Glenn. RIP

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives
Flyin’ with a billion stars all around
An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Our heart keeps sayin' it's just not fair
Hearts are achin’, feelin’ like screamin’
The music’s fleein’ this old cold world
Bells should be ringing this sad, sad news
Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
While Death carries another legend away

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives
Flyin’ with a billion stars all around
An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Lent to us we forgot, now lifted high
Frey-man took flight to join heaven’s band
Soaring with a billion stars all around
The music shimmers in every star we see
Gives him wings to climb high and far
Nothing made him turn around and stay
An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives
Flyin’ with a billion stars all around
An Eagle soars to join the Starman

Frey-man gave us the best of his music
Singin’ the vict’ry song, he’s already gone
And we just can’t hide our cryin’ eyes
We’ll dance to remember, Won’t ever forget
Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
As Death carries another legend away

Feelin’ the cold blue silence of forever
Another voice in the soundtrack of our lives
Flyin’ with a billion stars all around
An Eagle soars to join the Starman
