Song Description

Song about past regrets

Lyrics

Yesterday I flew away like an eagle in the wind
Now I know that I let it go too easy
But in looking back on what I lacked
When I thought I knew it all.

Should have done
What I could have done
But I didn't know I knew how.

I could have flown with the eagle
Cried with the rain
Laughed with a sunny day
And loved without pain.

I could have learned from the living
I did everyday.
And lived for tomorrow
Instead of throwing today away.

Now and then I think of when
The words came easily
Making lies and alibis
Were my specialty
But as time goes on the things I've done
Keep coming back to mind
And the words I said I thought were dead
Keep kicking me from behind.

I should have flown with the eagle
Cried with the rain
Laughed with a sunny day
And loved without pain.

I should have learned from the living
I did everyday.
And played on my old guitar
Instead of playing my life away.

Time is a teacher
So they say
But all of my yesterdays
Up and flew away
Like an eagle in the wind.

I could have flown with the eagle
Cried with the rain
Laughed with a sunny day
And loved without pain.

I could have learned from the living
I did everyday.
And lived for tomorrow
Instead of throwing today away.

Like an Eagle
Flying away, like an
Eagle in the wind.
