[Intro]
I hadn t seen the place since 68
When we all got high and we rolled that tape
We were holed up waiting for a call from the man
Who had crashed his bike and gave birth to the band
I frowned and bend in my special way
Told my daddy I was gonna teach them boys to play
Cause sometimes you know what you know
You re never gonna learn if you can t let go
I m the last hawk, flying over Woodstock
This is my last stop fore I m on my way
They say if you ve never been to Saugerties
Then you ve never heard the wind whisper through the trees
Never known work till you ve worked holes in your knees
And I betcha you ve never heard any songs like these
They dragged our name through the mud out there
It didn t feel right and it didn t feel fair
Cause that loud rock n roll was too much to bear
For the soft-hearted poets down in Harvard Square
Lee got tired, spit and swear
Went floating down the river to a rig somewhere
Cause sometimes you know what you know
You re never gonna learn if you can t let go
I m the last hawk, flying over Woodstock
I can see the tree tops, praying for the rain
This is my last stop, gonna take a long walk
Before I take my boots off, I ll see ya round the way
This may be the last I ll see
Of the rotten old house down in Saugerties
I was here and I made a mighty stand
But I may never stand right there again
Play a sweet song on these old keys
And hope y all might remember me
Cause all that time is here and gone
Won t be no one left to carry it on
From my piano bench I saw it all
From the great ascension to the mighty fall
How could anyone know what we sang that day
Would tear your heart apart this way
All my brothers they have flown away
But I still got something left that I wanna say
It s that sometimes you know what you know
You ll never be free if you can t let go
I m the last hawk, flying over Woodstock
I can see the tree tops, praying for the rain
This is my last stop, gonna take a long walk
Before I take my boots off, I ll see ya round the way
