Tomb of Liegia

In 1969

I killed a man of mine

In a small Montana town

I was hunted down by houndsHear the night hawk cry

Their voices dry and hollow

Hear the crowd cheer

They cheer me to the gallowsIn 1985

I was doing time alive

I made a plan to escape

And live as the lady

Of the lakeHear the crowd of ghosts

Their voices dry and hollow

Can't you hear their calls

They cheer me to the gallows1995 was the year

I came up for trial

I listened to his song

And watched the sun

Make the shadows longHear the night hawk call

His voice is dry and hollow

Hear the crowd call

They cheer me to the gallowsHear the night hawk call

His voice is dry and hollow

Hear the night hawk cry

In a voice that's hollow
