Sparrowhawk [Live]
Talis Kimberley
Hey, sparrowhawk, wild sparrowhawk
Who is your falconer?
Whom do you look to
By whom are you named?
I need no human hand
The wind is my falconer
I look to no-one
Nor would I be tamed
I keep a young hen sparrowhawk
I am her falconer
Mine's the hand feeds her
And tends [? 0.55]
I keep my freedom
With only the wind as falconer
I may die lonely
But I shall live free
Would that I were you, sparrowhawk
Falconer, falconer
Wildness and beauty
Elation in flight
Return to your hen-hawk
Be glad that you are her falconer
I would not change you
Even had I that right
Come then, be my sparrowhawk
And call me falconer
I'll never keep you
In cage or in chains
I'll not go with you
For I'll never call you falconer
No man shall own me
This is my domain
