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 |
