Double-headed Eagle

DOUBLE-HEADED EAGLE

We had a fight 
And I walked the street for hours 
When I returned she was sleeping on the floor 

So I entered her dream 
As a double-headed eagle 
One head said to the other one 
Oh, I need something more 

I need open skies 
Where the sun is always rising 
To see the my shadow on the mountain 
And know that you're not there 

A double-headed eagle 
Has got one set of wings 
Two eyes to heaven 
And two eyes that cling to all earthly things 

Oh love don't cry 
We will meet each week for dinner 
We will talk about the children 
And the new friends we have found 

Then she woke up 
I said "Babe you were only dreaming" 
Then we made love like love would never come again
