    FREE HAWK FLY (W.GAMACHE)

                                                         
                                                            

    FREE HAWK FLY [v] Can you change these arms to wings and free me? Lift me with a sudden, summer breeze We’ll glide above the tips of the trees Follow the river, you and me, down to the white caps of the sea [Partial CH:] Freedom! Free Hawk Fly Freedom! Free Hawk Fly [v] Friend - I watched you battle Til the end of your war Dragged down by drugs and alcohol I should have done something more [CH:] Freedom! Free Hawk Fly Freedom! Free Hawk Fly We're sentenced at birth To be chained to the earth Now I raise my eyes to your kingdom in the sky [Rise] Can you change these arms to wings and free me? And are you the one I'm dying to see? Are you now free? [CH:]

    IT SHOULD BE EASY

                                                         
                                                            

    I sold my watch I don’t wear chains I don’t have much Boots, jacket, and jeans It should be easy for me to leave you It should be easy for me to leave you My keyboards pawned Our TV’s gone too Your name's not burned On any tattoo It should be easy for me to leave you It should be easy for me to leave you [Chorus] Why am I so tied to you? It may be these hard times we're fighting through I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried I’ve tried but I can’t leave you I’ve tried but I can’t leave you You smoked my money You broke my pride You hurt me honey Yawned while I cried It should be easy for me to leave you It should be easy for me to leave you I miss my hometown My folks, my friends I bet you’re downtown Drinking again It should be easy for me to leave you It should be easy for me to leave you [Chorus] Why am I so tied to you? Why's it so hard to take my mind off you? I’ve tried, I’ve tried, I’ve tried I’ve tried but I can’t leave you I’ve tried but I can’t leave you It may be I still love you it ain't so easy for me to leave you

    [Chorus] Red Balloon, I dreamed of a red balloon It sailed up, up and on! I jumped to grab the string Red Balloon, I watched a red balloon It sailed up, up and on! I awoke to see.... a red balloon [v] I wish you had been naked Last night in my dream Instead you were covered in scarlet Floating just out of reach [v] It's true we've been fighting You've been gone far too long Tell me has your heart been drifting I've gotta change what's going wrong [Chorus] [v] You should be right here sleeping Me and you side my side But now it's back to dreaming Where the answer may reside [Chorus]

    [v] I was chilling in my favorite bar He can’t get away with a thing She launched a text ‘I know where you are!’ He can’t get away with a thing I placed my bet in the ‘Lion’s Den’ He can’t get away with a thing FaceTime this time ‘You're gambling again?’ He can’t get away with a thing [CH:] Other men lead double lives With other women and other wives I best be good or otherwise It could get bad for me Oh no I CAN’T GET AWAY WITH A THING [v] She checks the pockets of my jeans He can’t get away with a thing She hides inside my computer screen He can’t get away with a thing [CH:] [Bridge] My mind puffs out strange thought bubbles She pops ‘em fore they cause me trouble You may think she really bug me But it’s all cuz she love, love, loves me [v] She gets so jealous at the drop of a pin He can’t get away with a thing She scolds her friends ‘don’t talk to him’ He can’t get away with a thing [CH:]

    [v] I start the day feeling lucky from the moment I open my eyes I know something's waiting for me It's always a big surprise [rise] It' my time to shine like the sun on the rise [CHORUS] Everyday I'm given ONE NEW SONG Something to sing about all day long Each days a new hit, I can feel it I've caught the spirit of ONE NEW SONG [v] It's fun to meet new people I love to see what's on their mind It could a scene so simple Like hummingbirds in Springtime [rise] It's my time to shine Like the stars out tonight [Chorus] [Bridge] I'm stepping in harmony tuned into the melody Making memories [Chorus]

    [v1] The welcome signs, Angel, are all turned around There are seabirds, stray cats, boats moored aground The lighthouse goes dark when our island shuts down Where will you stay, Angel, with no johns in town? [chours] Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress [v2] Stay with me, Angel, I can find stuff to eat I have a cart full of blankets, I have coffee and heat I close my eyes and these cobblestone streets Fill up with tourists, Angel, coins fall at my feet [chours] Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress [v3] Walk with me, Angel, to the downtown cafe We can sneak in a side door, the jukebox still plays If bottles are broken, I'll sweep them away If you want to cry, Angel, I'll dry your pretty face [chours] Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts The harbors empty, all your bully boys left Winter is spreading a blanket of death Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress [bridge] Pick a slow song from long ago When this dress was new and this place never closed Before the war shook me and left me in these beggar's cloths [chours] Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress It's been torn at your thighs, ripped at your breasts My hearts not empty, we're the only ones left A ghost singer's crying 'I'm lonely as death' Dance with me, Angel, in your ragged white dress

    What were you thinking? An upbeat ivy-league kid Making plans to throw your body Off a building or a bridge What were you thinking? ‘I’m sorry’ is all you wrote You left your dorm in New Haven You signed your suicide note Was the devil drumming? A second coming Was an angel screaming? A scripture reading Was a flaming horse descending from the sun? What were you thinking? What were you thinking? Riding ninety stories up Then climbing spiked steel rails Letting go and leaping off What were THEY thinking? When you fell from the sky They closed two city blocks In Manhattan that night Was the devil drumming? Was an angel screaming? What were you thinking? [break] [Bridge] Be kind to people on the road Each one carries a heavy load One never knows Is the devil drumming? Is an angel screaming? What're they thinking?

    [v] There’s something about summer Has me thinking every night Lying restless ‘neath a fan Staring down Father Time [Rise] There’s something moving out there In the cemetery trees Something pushes my curtains I can barely breathe [Chorus] Oh! something went down long ago in a wicked heat Now something's clinging to me more than these cotton sheets There’s something about summer that won’t let my soul sleep [v] There’s something about summer A thing frozen winter hides I float back to forever Buried feelings come alive [Chorus] [Rise] There’s something moving out there Night shadows touch your stone What'll happen to your roses? They're getting old all alone [Chorus] Oh! something went down long ago in a wicked heat Some things cannot be changed, you can't forgive me There’s something about summer that won’t let my soul sleep
