	Story Behind the Song I liked the sound of the guitar riff, sounded a bit like one of Robert Fripp's early guitar lessons. It really just came from tuning the 3rd string G down to F#. The tuning is D G D F# B E (capo 2). I think Peter's drums make the song more than anything, wish I'd recorded them better. I hope you like the song. Tech note: Ornithologists will note that the birds that circle HK's skyscrapers are in fact kites, not eagles. "Kite Eye," however, just didn't seem to make it as a song title or theme! Lyrics EAGLE EYE Eagle fly over this town Eagle eye lookin' down Spread your wings to the sky Under you they slicin' up the pie Dragon rise empire fall Eagle eye see it all Shady deals gettin' made Golden eggs gettin' laid Eagle she circle barely seen Witness to the exit of a queen Wheel of fortune maybe stall Eagle eye see it all Sovereign nations power play I'm tryin' to keep out of the way Eagle in flight toward the sun Eagle of light make us one Path to peace or bloody brawl Eagle eye see it all c) Paul Meredith, 1999
