Once I Was An Eagle

Made my steps towards the water
where Undine last was seen
I was told that if you saw her
she would make you more naive
made my steps towards the shore
where she sang her love at me
oh Undine so sweet and pure
make me more naive


o Undine, sing your love to me
o Undine, make me more naive


There were ropes around my wrist
the tide pulled at her hair
pulling her away from me
and me away from there
yes the water tried to take her
tried to make poor Undine hide
but she fought herself against it
love in her had not yet died


o Undine, sing your love to me
o Undine, fight your way


You live for the sea
Undine, you live for the sea
you can not you can not
what's going on in there?
let me in


It was cold there in December
so I took my coat and left
left Undine by the embers
that's all our fire had left
left Undine by the shore
when she sings her love at me
o Undine so sweet and pure
I know not love as love as seen


You live for the sea
Undine You live for the sea
you cannot you cannot
what's going on in there?
let me in


You live for the sea
Undine you live for the sea
you cannot you cannot
you cannot love me
