I saw an eagle fly across the sun
The flags came down without a sound
I felt a passion of mixed persuasion
Just then the mountain came tumbling down

I dreamed a rainbow spilled across the night
I want to see it in my time
The harbor opened to ships and saviors
Just then the mountain came tumbling down

If life is like the music
Then be careful you can lose it
And beware the singer
How the lights come shining

And I'm counting on my timing
Oh, the band is playing fine
Tell the cynic to kiss tomorrow
All the moments are melodies

And the songs I have borrowed
They keep coming on back to me
I'm standing on precious ground
(Solid)

Filling the air with sound
Don't let the singer down

I touched a hand that played a thousand drums
A child escaped into the moon
A rage exploded and spread like rumors
Just then the mountain came tumbling down

I saw an eagle fly across the sun
The flags came down without a sound
A soldier kissed me and ran for cover
Just then the mountain came tumbling down
