That eagle’s circling like a sad memory
Clouding the blue sky overhead
Your image lingers in my reverie
Echoes of loving words you said
Not long ago
So long ago
Where are you now
Our favorite restaurant suddenly closed
Our neighborhood’s burned to the ground
Or maybe it’s something I just supposed
Now your love’s nowhere to be found
Where did you go
So long ago
Where are you now
Storm warnings rising darkly from the west
Thunder pounding harshly through the air
Or maybe it’s the pounding in my chest
What do I know? Do you even care?
Where did you go
Not long ago
Where are you now
