Hawk |
Hawk was just seventeen when he flew away for war |
Lied a little when he applied, but what is his lying for |
Training in Arizona in the year of '42 |
They all called him Hawk for the way that he flew |
It’s been sixty years and most he’s been up in the air |
He spends his days now flying a dusty old armchair |
That might be just a bore but he became my friend |
For what is a story that he ever been |
Hawk, how you could fly |
There’s finally a road Hawk couldn’t be in |
I told him all the things you will never do again |
And his mind stayed sharp as a plane |
Through the tales of his glory days |
Hawk, how you could fly |
Rolling thunder through the sky |
If there’s a war to win |
I hope you will take to the sky again |
Mourners a few as they laid him in the ground |
Decorated soldiers gathered around |
They folded the flag and placed it in my hand |
Said, 'Hawk is in a place where he’ll never had to land' |
And that’s the full measure of a life of a man |
Hawk, how you could fly |
Rolling thunder through the sky |
You found a war to win |
You will never leave the sky again |
