The Hawk Lyrics

The Hawk

Oh, I don't want to let it go back to this sorrow

Love took me up like a hawk, now I'm frozen in flight

Ah, don't look down at the drop, don't look up at the night

Is that the old frontier? What is this fierce loss?

I can see it from here, I can feel what it costs

It's a long walk down the echoing hallway

A sharp shoulder-push and the exit door gives way

To a frozen mute hush lit from the snow below

And in the intimate hush you can hear how the stars glow

Tonight it's cold as fuck, the wind an incessant whine

I feel down on my luck, feel the crawling of time

But dust into dust, we head back where we came

And we get off the bus and we hand in our names

Oh, I don't want to let it go back to this sorrow
