Eagles on the Ice
Embracing Home: Eagles Dancing on the Winter Ice
Lyrics
Every fall I get the call and pack up for the road
Preparing to leave in response to a recurring call every fall.
Northbound several hours head first into the cold
Heading northward for several hours, facing the cold.
Of all the sites I've seen wherever I may roam
Reflecting on various places visited while traveling.
Only one thing tells me that I'm home
Feeling a sense of homecoming triggered by a specific thing.
When I see eagles on the ice underneath a winter moon
Observing eagles on the ice under a winter moon.
Eagles on the ice and I'll be coming home soon
Anticipation of returning home soon after seeing the eagles.
There's a bar not too far from where us workers stay
Describing a nearby bar where workers stay.
Once or twice with my guitar I sit down and I'll play
Occasionally playing guitar and singing songs at the bar.
Songs about the ocean blue and songs of dreams that won't come true
Writing songs about the ocean and unfulfilled dreams.
And songs that make me think of you
Expressing emotions through songs, especially those about someone special.
And of eagles on the ice underneath a winter moon
Reiterating the image of eagles on the ice as a significant sight.
Eagles on the ice and I'll be coming home soon
Reaffirming the expectation of coming home after seeing the eagles.
As I descend into the valley the sunset disappears
Describing the sunset disappearing as descent into the valley begins.
I travel along the river that I've known all these years
Traveling along a familiar river that holds historical significance.
Soon you'll feel the love that I tried so hard to send
Expressing the hope that the love sent will be felt soon.
And I smile as I come around the bend
Smiling with a positive outlook as the journey progresses.
And I see eagles on the ice underneath a winter moon
Revisiting the image of eagles on the ice under the winter moon.
A song is on the radio and I'm trying to sing in tune
Mentioning a radio playing a song, attempting to sing in tune.
Eagles on the ice underneath a winter moon
Re-emphasizing the presence of eagles on the ice under the winter moon.
Eagles on the ice and I'll be coming home soon
Confirming the imminent return home after seeing the eagles.
Soon
Repetition of the idea of returning home soon.
I'll be coming home soon
Reiteration of the anticipation of coming home soon.
Soon
Final confirmation of the imminent return home.
