lyrics

The Nighthawk taps at the window
Crying to come in
"Let me tell you the thoughts
that you hoped you forgot;
we can listen together again"

He'll perch on the chair in the corner
The dark will roll over the room
And the worries you share
Will cut through the air
But your glad for the company still

And the Nighthawk sings:

"Will your chest ever fill up its emptiness?
How could you let your love drain away?
Is it you they adore, or an act you perform?
Do you lie in every word that you speak?"

"If you want her too much is it shameful?
Is it loneliness or is it true?
Do you know in the end you'll just break it all again
They all deserve more than you'll give"

"What if they don't all make it through this?
Will some add to the thousands who go?
Have you done all you can or just left them again?
Will she gasp a last breath all alone?"

"Enough, enough" he cries in his love,
The nighthawk he cries in his love

Oh, Nighthawk, nighthawk
I'll never be enough
Nighthawk, nighthawk,
I'll never be enough
