I brought you a piece of glass, a simple thing to please your eye... On it traced a bird in flight with crystal wings against the sky. You took it into both your hands. You said of all that you possessed, this little thing I'd brought so far was, without doubt, the loveliest. You held it up in front of you. You turned it slowly in the light.... and lost yourself in patterns on its snowy painted mountainside...... CHORUS: Like the waters of an everlasting fountain my days go by but I'm not counting... Like the eagle over blue mountain I know the wind will carry me home.... I remember seagull cries as ropes were loosened on a quay, the gentle swell of morning tide as dawn came up upon the sea... Eyes that strained for signs of land out beyond the timeless blue.... Knowing that there lay a road that led to journey's end and you.... I thought about the endless miles, I longed for sleep - it wouldn't come. It's taken me a while to know you're with me - though I seem alone... CHORUS: Like the waters of an everlasting fountain my days go by but I'm not counting... Like the eagle over blue mountain I know the wind will carry me home.... Trees in shades of amber swayed like living fire against the sky. Branches bowed their heads and prayed as Autumn sang their lullaby. We drove between the misty hills in their last show of the dying year... With new life burning in my soul, I sang for all the world to hear... And when the day is long and I am weary and can go no more I think about the peace I found that night, as I stood at your door.... CHORUS: And like the waters of an everlasting fountain my days go by but I'm not counting... Like the eagle over blue mountain I know the wind will carry me home.... Like the waters of an everlasting fountain my love flows on and I'm not doubting... Like the eagle over blue mountain I know the wind will carry me home....
