    Default Need all the lyrics and title

    I remember this from the late 60's or early 70's

    A song about an Eagle that asks a Fox for friendship.

    I think one of the lines is " I am an Eagle I've come to take you away. Up in the mountain and far from this valley for I'm in need of some friendship today"

    Thanks

    Can this be Rhett Davis ?
    Go here, please: Rhett Davis Music
    Click on song name "I am the Eagle" to hear the song.

    I don't know, If that's it, but in case, it is the right song, I give you here the lyrics also, so you don't have to make a new post to Lyrics section

    there once was a silver grey fox
    of great beauty
    who lived very deep in the woods
    afraid of the meadow where life once before
    had treated her worse than it should

    and to think of the mountain
    beyond the green meadow
    did surely bring fear to her heart
    for she'd heard the stories
    of all the great hunters
    and shivered and cried in the dark

    tired of living a life of dark shadows
    the fox ventured out in the light
    and rejoiced at the sounds
    and the smell of the meadow
    while keeping her shelter in sight

    then all at once such a fear overcame her
    as a shadow passed over the sun
    and as she heard the cry of the great hunting eagle
    she knew it was over and done

    chorus:

    i am the eagle - the sweet soaring eagle
    i've come to take you away
    high up the mountain past sparkling blue rivers
    and show you the place where i stay
    please do not fear me for i will not harm you
    no matter what others may say
    for though it is true
    that our lives should not mingle
    i've need of some friendship today
    (i've need of some love today)

    though she didn't know why she accepted the offer
    and reluctantly climbed on his back
    and the woods and the meadow
    were left far behind her
    it seemed she would never get back

    then the fox sensed a yearning
    deep within the great eagle
    and she felt something stir in her too
    could she the fox fall in love with the eagle
    and he fall in love with her too

    could this eagle be lonely
    and searching for someone
    to help him rule his domain
    had he ever had someone
    to love and protect him
    and bring him in out of the rain

    then the eagle spoke soft
    and his words were a wonder
    in a voice touched with sadness it seemed
    “even though i may hunt in the name of survival
    i need not kill all that i see”

    I'm glad, it was the same song you were looking for.
    To my surprise the song is quite rare, for being so beautiful.

    Have a good day!
