Verse 1
The eagle looked Ddown on the river below
ADnd he wrapped his wings 'Around him and he fGell like a stone
And the big salmon fDought but the tAalons held tBmrueE  
DAnd he shuddered as the wAorld turned from Gsilver to Dblue 
Verse 2
I stood there in Dawe though I’d seen it before
I was born in these Amountains, And I’ll Gdie here for sure
I’ve travelled Daround I’ve Aseen city lBmightsE  
But Dnothin’ that Ashined like the Gbig sky at Dnight
Chorus:
Some mAornings will find me up aDbove the timberline
GLonesome don’t seem like much oDnce you’re this high
When it’s all said and Ddone I Ausually fiBmnd E  
DMe and the Aeagle are Gof the same Dmind
Verse 3
Now when I was Dyoung I took me a wife
BuDt she never Atook to the hiGgh country life
So now I‘m Dalone I Adon’t really BmmindE  
DBut her name echoes Adown from the Gcanyon sometDimes
Chorus:
Some mAornings will find me up aDbove the timberline
GLonesome don’t seem like much oDnce you’re this high
When it’s all said and Ddone I usuAally Bmfind E  
DMe and the Aeagle are Gof the same Dmind
Verse 4
In my dreams there’s a Dhorse, He stands eighteen hands high
DHe’s as white as the Asnow and there’s Gfire in his eyes
And he’ll bare only Dme though Aothers would BmtryE  
DTogether we’ll Atravel up Gacross the Ddivide
 Chorus:
Some mAornings will find me up aDbove the timberline
GLonesome don’t seem like much oDnce you’re this high
When it’s all said and dDone I Ausually fBmind E
