Once I Was an Eagle Lyrics
So your grandmother stands to me
A woman I would be proud to be
And you say she reminds you of me
Every little boy is so naive
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
Who could get his dirty little hands on me
So your grandfather sounds like me
Head up shoulders back and proud to be
Every little girl is so naive
Falling in love with the first man that she sees
I will not be a victim of romance
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
Who could get his dirty little hands on me
When we were in love
If we were
When we were in love
I was an eagle and you were a dove
Today I will feel something other than regret
Pass me a glass and a half-smoked cigarette
I've damn near got no dignity left
When we were in love If we were
When we were in love
I was an eagle and you were a dove
When we were in love If we were
When we were in love
You were a dove and I rose above you and prayed
A woman I would be proud to be
And you say she reminds you of me
Every little boy is so naive
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
Who could get his dirty little hands on me
Head up shoulders back and proud to be
Every little girl is so naive
Falling in love with the first man that she sees
I will not be a victim of circumstance
Chance or circumstance or romance, or any man
Who could get his dirty little hands on me
If we were
When we were in love
I was an eagle and you were a dove
Pass me a glass and a half-smoked cigarette
I've damn near got no dignity left
When we were in love
I was an eagle and you were a dove
When we were in love
You were a dove and I rose above you and prayed
