Day of the Eagle Lyrics

Cover art for Day of the Eagle lyrics by Robin Trower

Adlertag; German for "Day of the Eagle", was code for August 13, 1940, the day Nazis planned to knock out British radars at the Battle of Britain. They chose eagle because of the predator nature. Dove obviously is bird of peace. Trower was stating he was truly looking for love, not wanting to end up in another fight - another war. He was wanting to break loose out of the predatory mode and find love in a woman on his own time - to enter into a peace mode with one he truly loves.
