a friend of mine is looking for the lyrics to a song that has me stumped.

she claims it goes something like this:

"there once was and eagle

a 'something something (hight-flying)?' eagle."

She can't remember the next lines, but the eagle apparantly spots a rabbit (or something) on the ground and says somthing like this:

"Please do not fear me for i will not harm you

for i am in need of company."

The only other information she could give me is she thinks she last heard the song in the early 70s, and it was a slow ballad by a male vocalist. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated. I really want my friend to stop bugging me about this song.
