no more riders

Singer:hollies, the

golden eagle spreads his wings

high above in a windless sky

and a bare back rider on an open plain

we hunt together for our prey

wagon train on an open trail

eagle flies to protect his young

as they're standing to face their foe

they're too long

this land of hope

war drums beat to the dancing feet

young braves high on a victory cry

wheels are burning at the end of day

no survivors

dead they lay

campfire burn as the braves return

travel feast to the dead of night

no one heard when the soldiers came

way too late

dead they lay

golden eagle spread your wings

high above in a windless sky

no more riders on an open plain

no more riders
