Lyrics Harbour Hawk - Becca Stevens

Harbour Hawk

I sketched a portrait of him
From memory
His hands
His eyes
Like I could bring 'em back to life
Displeased
I ripped it in half
And walked the pieces of
The wind of stern carried 'em back to me
From my sailboat I could see
Two paper wings hover over me
From stem to stern
And ear to ear
I knew that you were everywhere
With brush and canvas
I’ll crush my sadness
And paint those paper wings
Like sails upon my back
And fly like an angel of the sea
Beside my sailor king
The captain of a wise and selfless heart
From my sailboat I could see
Two paper wings hover over me
From stem to stern
And ear to ear
I knew that you were everywhere
From my sailboat I could see
Dark blooming clouds hover over me
A flash of light
A gust of wind
Will bring me to my love again
When the winds pick up
Fall off, fall off, fall off
Fuel the loving canvas
Fall off, fall off, fall off
Trim the jib and reef the main
The nearing gale is closing in
Singing in the rigging
Fall off, fall off, fall off
From my sailboat I can see
Glorious waves of memory
As the waves rage over me
With you, my love
On the wings of the sea
