Blackhawk Lyrics - Wrecking Ball - Emmylou Harris

Well, I work the double shift 

In a bookstore on St. Clair 

While he pushed the burning ingots 

In Dofasco stinking air 

Where the truth bites and stings 

I remember just what we were 

As the noon bell rings for 

Blackhawk and the white winged dove 

Hold on to your aching heart 

I'll wipe the liquor from your lips 

A small town hero never dies 

He fades a bit and then he slips 

Down into the blast furnace 

In the heat of the open hearth 

And at the punch clock, he remembers 

Blackhawk and the white winged dove

I remember your leather boots 

Pointing up into the sky 

We fell down to our knees 

Over there where the grass grew high 

Love hunters in the night 

Our faces turned into the wind 

Blackhawk, where are you know? 

Blackhawk and the white winged dove 

We were Blackhawk 

And the white winged dove 

We were Blackhawk 

And the white winged dove 

Do you still have the ring I gave 

On the banks of Lake Black Bear? 

Where I felt certain that I knew you 

My cool and distant debonair

Now we drink at Liberty Station 

Another cup of muscatel 

Wrapped in the strong arms of the Union 

Raisin' kids from raisin' hell 

I remember your leather boots 

Pointing up into the sky 

We fell down to our knees 

Over there where the grass grew high 

Love hunters in the night 

Our faces turned into the wind 

Blackhawk, where are you know? 

Blackhawk and the white winged dove 

We were Blackhawk 

And the white winged dove 

We were Blackhawk 

And the white winged dove 

We were Blackhawk 

And the white winged dove 

We were Blackhawk 

And the white winged dove 

We were Blackhawk 

And the white winged dove 

We were Blackhawk 

And the white winged dove
