Where The Hawkwind Kills

Daniel Lanois


The suburb walls are closing in 
I've looked at you and I've seen you 
through your curtain 

With a naked eye from not far, 
I've shed a tear for you, 
a flowing fountain 

Flaming trees, 
I'm lost in fields of your hair 

From where the hawkwinds kill 
and the blood runs thin 
I'll go now, fly I will 

From inside the gates of the stripping yard 
I can't touch you, I can't feel for this thunder town 
I want you now while my body is young, 
my mind is strong away from thunder town 

From where the hawkwind kills 
and the dam runs deep 
In this land of heaven, not so sweet 

I turn my back to a godless night 
I hear the mighty stranger over thunder hill 

From where the hawkwinds kill 
and the blood runs thin 
I'll go now, fly I will... 

Over the mountain I must go 
To see the valley below 
Thunder town...
