Lyrics Gregory and the Hawk

Gregory and the Hawk

Olly Olly Oxen Free

Dear day we met

I just made up my bed

And now

I'm kneeling by it

Dear last July,

You once were heavy,

But now I lift you

Over my head like a feather

It all depends

On whether you're carried away

Or whether I pray for something

And hold on to today

I've never been one for chasing

Stars in the starry night

It just seems too easy

I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be

Fine when you want me

Yeah, for the last time

I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be

Fine when I'm free,

Yeah, for the last time

Dear consequence

Could I shake your hand?

'Cause, man, you really got me this time

Oh, nights I've lost

Erasing parts tumbling toward the eye of the tiger

It all depends

On whether I'm carried away

Or whether I stand for something

And stick it to today

I've never been one for grasping straws

Or feeling lost

It just makes me queasy

I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be

Fine when you want me,

Yeah, for the last time

I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be,

Fine when I'm free

Yeah, for the last time

Make my head spin again

Throw me over the edge

It's all in his kiss again

Just like momma said

I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be

Fine when you want me

Yeah, for the last time

I'm gonna be, I'm gonna be

Fine when I'm free

Yeah, for the last time
