Annotationen
Die Idee zu «Eagle» sei Björn Ulvaeus aus der Lektüre des Romans «Jonathan Livingston Seagull» gekommen. Er sagte: «Ich habe versucht, das Gefühl von Freiheit und Euphorie einzufangen, das ich beim Lesen dieses Buches hatte.» (Palme, 416)
«Eagle» ist einer der wenigen Songs des reiferen Abba-Katalogs, der von beiden Stimmen gesungen wird.

Lyrics
[Intro] [Verse 1] They came flying from far away Now I'm under their spell I love hearing the stories that they tell [Verse 2] They've seen places beyond my land And they've found new horizons They speak strangely but I understand [Pre-Chorus] And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings [Chorus] Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please [Verse 3] As all good friends we talk all night And we fly wing to wing I have questions and they know everything [Verse 4] There's no limit to what I feel We climb higher and higher Am I dreaming or is it all real? [Pre-Chorus] Is it true I'm an eagle? Is it true I can spread my wings? [Chorus] Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please [Instrumental Bridge] [Pre-Chorus] And I dream I'm an eagle And I dream I can spread my wings [Chorus] Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please [Chorus] Flying high, high, I'm a bird in the sky I'm an eagle that rides on the breeze High, high, what a feeling to fly Over mountains and forests and seas And to go anywhere that I please [Extended Outro]
