歌词

[Intro]
[Verse]
Unit four-oh-two, rusted lock
Found a crate beneath a clock
Sawdust thick as winter frost
Something found that once was lost
Wrapped in denim, cold and grey
A wooden hawk from yesterday
One wing finished, sharp and clean
The other just a ghost unseen
[Pre-Chorus]
Grandpa never spoke of flight
Kept his secrets out of sight
Blueprints hidden in his belt
Words he never really felt
Like a shadow in the hall
Waiting for the wind to call
[Chorus]
Oh, let the cedar catch the breeze
Rising up above the trees
He was building more than wings
He was chasing bigger things
Now I’m holding on to hope
Tied up with a hempen rope
From the grease to the grain
Finding sunshine in the rain
Yeah, that hawk is gonna fly
Across a clear blue Kansas sky
[Post-Chorus]
Across the sky
Watch it fly
[Verse]
Balsa shavings on the floor
Letters from the seventy-four
Airmail stamps from far away
Plans for a Piper, painted grey
He worked the line at Miller’s Mill
But kept his heart on Clover Hill
He never let the engine roar
Just kept his feet upon the floor
[Pre-Chorus]
Now I’m standing at the bench
Gripping on a rusted wrench
Feeling like I’m losing ground
In this quiet little town
But the grain begins to speak
To the spirit of the weak
[Chorus]
Oh, let the cedar catch the breeze
Rising up above the trees
He was building more than wings
He was chasing bigger things
Now I’m holding on to hope
Tied up with a hempen rope
From the grease to the grain
Finding sunshine in the rain
Yeah, that hawk is gonna fly
Across a clear blue Kansas sky
[Bridge]
I remember ninety-five
County fair, we felt alive
Biplanes dancing in the sun
Before the working day was done
He looked up with a heavy stare
Like he belonged in the air
Now I’m putting down the tools
Breaking all the shop-floor rules
[Solo]
[Verse]
Vise grip holding steady now
Wiping sweat from off my brow
Carving out the missing part
Healing up a broken heart
Goodbye oil, hello pine
This tomorrow is finally mine
Twenty-eight and feeling new
Doing what he couldn't do
[Chorus]
Oh, let the cedar catch the breeze
Rising up above the trees
He was building more than wings
He was chasing bigger things
Now I’m holding on to hope
Tied up with a hempen rope
From the grease to the grain
Finding sunshine in the rain
Yeah, that hawk is gonna fly
Across a clear blue Kansas sky
[Post-Chorus]
Yeah, it’s gonna fly
Underneath that Kansas sky
Wings wide open
Nothing’s broken
Yeah, it’s gonna fly
[Outro]
