I Was An Eagle

So your grandmother sounds to me

A woman I would be proud to be

Ohhh I will not be a victim of romance

I will not be a victim of circumstance

Chance or circumstance or romance

Or any man who could get his dirty little hands



When we were in love, if we were

When we were in love I was an eagle and you were a dove

When we were in love I was an eagle and I rose above you and preyed
