The lyrics and musicarrangments on this song are very moving. I don't know what it exactly is that brings tears in my eyes but for me one of my favorites from this album.

Listening the whole day...can't stop! Definitely my favorite from the album along My Herat Never Change! ????????

Same here, Slavi. My two favourites :)

Hehe, it's great!
Must admit over the years I love more and more MK's slow and tenders songs ??

Same here. However, I probably couldn't/wouldn't want to listen to such songs all day. I kind of try to save them for special occasions – because I know how emotionally I'm going to react. On each of Mark's solo albums, there seem to be one or two songs that I just can't listen to without starting to cry. Silver Eagle is the latest one, and before that: Follow the Ribbon, Seattle, The Car was the One, The Fish and the Bird, Beyond my Wildest Dreams, Back to Tupelo, Old Pigweed, The Long Highway, Je Suis Désolé ...

Definitely the best slow ones on here.  In fact, better than a lot of the faster ones too.  It's one that manages to raise itself above the level to avoid being an easy listening tune, which is easy for this style to do, and elevate it into being a really nice little number.

They were on Prevost for the tour. Silver Eagles are more or less a remenant of the past in the touring world.

Help, please...Would wish to translate this song into my language for a friend of mine. For the first time I think about the meaning of the word "lay" in the verse...
"Half a mile from where she lay"
So, she lay in her bed waiting...or she passed (dead) and was put there?
Or it is something else??

... :smack :smack :smack

Hi Slavi - The song begins with

"It was so late and she’d be sleeping
He came through her home town"

So I have always understood that she lay in bed asleep, not dead.    :)
