Hawk Medicine lyrics

baby true

show me an hour when I won't be doomed
I'll show you my hand than we can cut loose
I wash off the blood and put on my shoes
you put on your makeup you are looking damn good

I shake off those weeks I got something to do
what it is aint exactly clear path will show itself soon

baby true
your mind it got lost and your heart it turned blue
baby true
your dress looks so soft under the light of the moon
------------
sister

sister will you come
wake me from this sleep
my hands are tired and broken
my feet don't want no speak

put water to my lips
put breathe into my breathe

all hung up on this thought
all thought up with such ease
no bomb is going to take me
take me from the trees
the cancer it did bring her
to her knees

hey kid
a wind
is going to come
-----------
hawks


hawks all circle my head
I am happy to see
the circles they make
when they are swimming
they are surely the free

plants are teaching me old ways
with their wisdom I do be
across fields that I walked
as a thirsty young thought
I was on my way

the hawks say

YOU LOVE
------------
someday

first I like to clear my head
next I like to take a walk
to a beautiful place
every hour every face

someday I will be
exactly what I want to be
till then I will sing
walk right up and kiss your cheek

first I like to clear my head
next I like to breathe

story

story you've grown up to become a man
inside your spirit comes out through your hands
I see it in the way you walk down the streets
sirens follow at the path of your feet

Its been three days since you've spoken to me
been many more since you had something to eat
your silence is calming the weight off this hill
for answers come quiet to the fasting and still

here we go its started again
the ground opens up the hoop it begins
we lost our way from the language of kin
the wind it comes strong it teaches again

open me up put your hate in my face
I'll swallow it whole put love in its place
the old road is tired that much for sure
I've tasted a new one and its feeling was pure

story you come back from losing again
I trust you more knowing the places you've been
come take your place with the healers and bards
they're lighting the way as you walk from the dark
---------------

the sky of the tall sun

bow down to the dollars in your pockets
they laugh toward the emptiness of things we are after
the kids all in black with disgust on their faces
throw fist in the air on their way through the mazes
its high school america the idea hysterical
we're lost on our way to consuming a miracle
the cheers are as loud as the number of costumes
poets they are lost to the words that they gather


throw this to the night its aching in my eyes
its coming to a head so choose your side
surrender to the heart surrender to the sky
take it to the streets and take it to their eyes

all night I been talking to the cancer
that seeps through the government straight to the houses
we slipped into ignorance cut off our conscience
to blood it is spilled in the name of a dollar
if this is america and thats what we're after
than lie on the telephone and wait for disaster
straight to the shopping mall pull out your wallet
what sane is what found in the prayers to commerce
---------------------

sewest

sew I'm in love with you I don't know why I dont know when it to
it sang like sonnets do and now I pick up all I thought what through
you came right up to me you said hello you said I'll be your tree
cause thats the way I do and do I way and how about some for free

cough on to let me know the place thats gold the place that I should go
if the bread wait here we'll break the share we'll shake the light till moon
its all the lve that lets me sleep its all the thorns that make me weep
sew we dance like we get born into the night unto the mourn

hey stranger how what we from where you come from where you run off to
this aint no stiff board game you roll the dice you amble on your way
their aint no first no second place their aint no genius come a save
we all got what we all got say we all be living the same way

we all got life
we got cable tv
we got shopping spree
we got love
we got more

cash out and laugh with me we'll dance all night we make a light so sweet
--------------------
forsaken


girl you forsaken me
everyday I give my life to thee
world just let me know
which way my wind should blow

run child let me go
I don't want to go
world don't let me be
just another long and lost history

------------------
manic

this turning of locks
this losing of days
it hurts when we talk
it burns when we pray

so who gives a fuck
what's it mean to care at all
which ghost is in charge
which fence are we climbing

the land is taking sides
although you won't hear cries
just listen real good

the story goes:
a wounded bird
picks up his head
learns to fly again
the desert calls to me
sunsets and peace
so much , so much
but a few choices left
we fail another test
ground opens up
we return to sand
----------------------
