I saw a light, just up ahead
But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed
I'm not alone, than I am
People seem to think I'm superman
But I watch for the love
I'm living in the day of the eagle, the eagle not the, dove
Its like a weight, that brings me down
If I don't move, I'm on the ground
Its in my mind, it's in my soul
Its telling me the things I can't be told
Its a watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove
Another day, another night
I want to love, they want to fight
I need the time, I got to be alone
I got to meet a lover on my own
I watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove
But I couldn't seem to rise up from my bed
I'm not alone, than I am
People seem to think I'm superman
But I watch for the love
I'm living in the day of the eagle, the eagle not the, dove
Its like a weight, that brings me down
If I don't move, I'm on the ground
Its in my mind, it's in my soul
Its telling me the things I can't be told
Its a watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove
Another day, another night
I want to love, they want to fight
I need the time, I got to be alone
I got to meet a lover on my own
I watch for the love
Living in the day of the eagle, eagle not the, dove

| SensorJ | Posted: Dec 29, 2012 - 14:31 I first heard this song as I entered the Long Beach Arena on 3/12/75 to see Led Zeppelin at 13 years old. I've loved it since. |

| Stingray ("ANONYMOUS INTERNET") | Posted: May 23, 2012 - 04:45 I REALLY-REALLY-REALLY thought it was JIMI for the 5,6,7 seconds! Though Trower is fanstastic, I miss Jimi lots-lots-lots! |

| martinc (Ottawa Canada) | Posted: Jun 10, 2011 - 09:22 Took the tour of his pedals at his web site. Pretty simple set up really and deosn't change the fact that it is his playing that is special. Quite different from the kind of pedals the Edge uses and how he uses the effects to create his sound. Glad to see Mr. Trower is still playing and still has the passion for is guitar. |
| ski19570 (Northern Sierras, California) | Posted: Jun 10, 2011 - 09:18 Truly a Classic.. Not a hard one to do talent wise but a classic.. |
| Huey (Netherlands) | Posted: Apr 08, 2011 - 04:37 Nice to see that Bill "captured" a pair of eagles on RPHD to go along with this great song  |
| V-bro | Posted: Apr 08, 2011 - 03:34 Incredible! Didn't evn know this, bravo for once more bringing me something new RP!!  And it is even from my year of birth!  |

| tbaloney619 (The Lakeshore, NE Wisconsin) | Posted: Mar 07, 2011 - 15:50 boy, does that look funny in print. Kinda like a newly mown lawn with weird borders. |
| Propayne (Richmond VA) | Posted: Mar 07, 2011 - 15:50 Coming here to Richmond Virginia this June. I will be there enjoying the show, grooving on the pentatonic scales.... |

| Darlington (Columbia, South Carolina) | Posted: Feb 04, 2011 - 08:14 Listening to this with the volume way down, I thought for a second it was The Black Keys. Like this a lot! |
| Blaggart | Posted: Feb 04, 2011 - 08:13 Sjaaks wrote: ...he constantly uses his effect pedals and the poor guy only knows pentatonic scales... Sorry you had a bad experience (or were you being ironic?), I loved his pedal work. As far as what he knows, it may be different from what he shows. Saw him 3 years ago, was knocked out. |
| unclehud (300 feet above the planet) | Posted: Feb 04, 2011 - 08:12 Bill! How did you know I'll be seeing Mr. Trower tomorrow night? Thanks for this preview/retro! Despite others' comments about his live performances, if he's breathing and has his Marshall at 10, I'll be this close to heaven. |
| audiophelia (Pennsylvania) | Posted: Feb 04, 2011 - 08:12 YEAH!!! *fist pump!* |
| passsion8 (over the hills and far away) | Posted: Feb 04, 2011 - 08:11 This one gets cranked.!!! Stopped me cold in my (8) tracks! |
| diannemck56 (Sacramento) | Posted: Feb 04, 2011 - 08:11 WOW!! This really takes me back. Excellent choice this morning.  |
| Sjaaks (Horst, Netherlands) | Posted: Jan 04, 2011 - 00:47 I saw Robin Trower last summer live at the Blues Rock Festival here in the Netherlands. What a big dissappointment, he constantly uses his effect pedals and the poor guy only knows pentatonic scales. Further more, his singer (and i'm NOT kidding) had to use lyric sheets to sing the lines... Man, i felt really sad for these guys, with all the talent i saw that day, Robin Trower was really, really bad... 3 |
| Propayne (Richmond VA) | Posted: Dec 03, 2010 - 10:27 The "Bridge of Sighs" 8 track was that bright apple green color! Pioneer Super Tuner in my '70 XR-7 Cougar. Good times.... Trower is still around and still rockin'. His latest album, "What Lies Beneath", is quite good IMHOP. Saw him perform live not too long ago. Great show. |
| Kokoloco53 (Safford, AZ) | Posted: Dec 03, 2010 - 10:14 Far out man! What a stab from my past. Remember like yesterday, in high school, on a field trip, in Phoenix, walked into a music store and found this on 8 track, Trowers first album, not this album. Yes, very Hendrix like. Excellent guitar licks. What ever happened to him? Thanks RP. |
| Propayne (Richmond VA) | Posted: Dec 03, 2010 - 10:12 Big Trower fan here. Love it! |
