Like A Bird Of Prey

All the days have drawn their curtains
All the days lie then and there
All the things I took for certain
Now have vanished in the air
I'm in need of a twist or something
You know I'm far astray
Now the night comes closing in
Just like a bird of prey

I watch the she-hawk hover
Over meadows wide and plain
To discover a mate, a lover
Or more likely, something to slay
I recall the scene, I was wild and free
Then suddenly I was swept away
When your love struck down
Like a bird of prey

Two lovers lost in Eden
All is new, nothing's wrong
No wisdom, all is freedom
Knew nothing 'bout the snake's tongue
Crawled up on my backseat
Blew the skies and heavens away
All was flesh, we all dug in
Like birds of prey

I hear the children playing
Hear their laughter and their tears
I remember a young man sayin'
"No hesitation, no hate, no fear"
All flesh is grass and it's withering
Its flowers will fade away
Now the night comes closing in
Like a bird of prey
