The Hawk

I've been riding, riding for days I've been riding with my hat over my face It's protecting me from the sand you blew my way Yeah it's protecting me from the sand you blew my way I'll come riding in to your town Asking strangers where you can be found Until I see your swollen eyes next to the well The wishes that you made babe I can tell And she says boy, boy is that you And I say babe, I guess your wish came true I will take you on the back of my horse We will ride babe, ride in to the north And I will light a fire and have a drink for two If you think that I love you well baby its not true You will drink, drink the water That I got up from the ground when you were sleeping so sound Oh baby, how did you sleep that way I thought for sure that a hawk would take you away But you are here, here in this place And you are scared, its written on your face We'll play games babe, I'll get hurt and cry Knowing all the while that you won't ask me why So I've taken you to the desert of my mind Where you will sleep forever and all time I love you sweetie, I love you girl Those words like oysters, are nothing without pearls And I see nothing in your eyes Except the pain that hit with no surprise So I will take you away form this place And then at night I won't let you go to waste But you will look up and see the hawk And he will look down and see you scared Because the hawk knows that you know that he Is looking at you and oh his eyes see That you have meat to feed his little ones For all the days yes all the days to come And don't you think that he'll leave your bones to waste Cuz to the hawk every part of you tastes Just like the sweetest bit of honey you ever had And you'd better know that I will be glad Ive taken you to the desert just to die So let your hair down and close your beautiful eyes
