Hawk in the Night Lyrics by Madds Buckley

Sunset on Summerville

2022

[Verse 1]
Ooh, baby bird, I'm glad you don't cry anymore
Be brave
One day, you'll fly, you'll soar
But don't forget where you come from
The vultures that watch your back
[Verse 2]
Ooh, baby bird, I'm glad that you quit your chirping
That songbird shit was worthless
And no one would've heard you hacking up a tune
Screeching like a hawk in the sky
[Chorus]
Sharpen your talons and fight
Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes
We raised you right, hawk in the night
Hawk in the night
[Verse 3]
Ooh, baby bird, I'm glad you don't smile anymore
It means you're strong
The weak never have their wings unfurl
You know your place
At least you're not fighting for scraps
[Verse 4]
Ooh, baby bird, I'm glad that you quit your laughing
It's too loud
That awful bubbly sound that would happen
When you were a child
Screeching like a hawk in the sky
[Chorus]
Sharpen your talons and fight
Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes
We raised you right, hawk in the night
Hawk in the night
[Bridge]
Ooh, baby bird, I'm glad you don't come 'round no more
And when you do, there's fire in those eyes
You talk about a friend, a feather's sharpened end
And plumes stuck in their side
[Verse 5]
Ooh, baby bird, the nightingale can't soar like an eagle
Its wings are much too fragile
It's weak like its ego
But us, child, you and I
We've got pride on our side
[Verse 6]
Ooh, baby bird, the hunting birds can live their lives alone
Who needs friends?
A dead weight's all that other birds are made of
So fight the world
Screech like a hawk in the sky
[Chorus]
Sharpen your talons and fight
Claw at the world as it claws out your eyes
We raised you right, hawk in the night
Hawk in the night
Hawk in the night
Hawk in the night
