[Verse 1]
In 1969
I killed a man of mine
In a small Montana town
I was hunted down by hounds
[Chorus 1]
Hear the nighthawks cry
Their voices dry and hollow
Hear the crowd cheer
They cheer me to the gallows
[Verse 2]
In 1985
I was doing time alive
I made a plan to escape
And live as the lady of the lake
[Chorus 2]
Hear the crowd of ghosts
Their voices dry and hollow
Can't you hear their call
They cheer me to the gallows
[Verse 3]
1995
Was the year I came up for trial
I listened to his song
And watched the sun make the shadows long
In 1969
I killed a man of mine
In a small Montana town
I was hunted down by hounds
[Chorus 1]
Hear the nighthawks cry
Their voices dry and hollow
Hear the crowd cheer
They cheer me to the gallows
[Verse 2]
In 1985
I was doing time alive
I made a plan to escape
And live as the lady of the lake
[Chorus 2]
Hear the crowd of ghosts
Their voices dry and hollow
Can't you hear their call
They cheer me to the gallows
[Verse 3]
1995
Was the year I came up for trial
I listened to his song
And watched the sun make the shadows long
