Intro
Verse 1
The Gay Goshawk Came To My Windowsill
The Snow, It Fell Fast And The Stars Stood Still
"Oh, Won't You Take Me In From The Storm?
Won't You Take Me Between Your Sheets So Warm?"
Chorus 1
Gold Was The Colour Of His Wings So Fair
His Eyes, They Were Bold And Of Silver So Rare
As I Lay His Brown Body Upon The Pillow
He Became A Man, Lithe As A Willow
Verse 2
"Don't Breathe A Word, Don't Scream, Don't Shout
I Can Turn The Whole World Round About
Lay The Moon Flat On The Land
Whisper Rope Out Of Flying Sand"
Chorus 2
Whispering Women, So Happy, Beguiled
Now That He's Gone, She Must Care For The Child
Jasmine's The Colour Of His Hair
The Nut-Brown Boy With The Silvery Stare

Instrumental Chorus
Verse 3
The Night Has Long Gone And The Seasons Slip By
Knowing Seducers Still Give Me The Eye
But On Cold Winter's Evenings, Alone I Walk
I Watch And I Pray For My Gay Goshawk
Instrumental Chorus
