Ladyhawke Upon two lovers a wicked spell was cast To keep them apart till ages had passed She became a hawk by day A fearful bird of prey
Her lover the Captain Navarre by name A mighty grey wolf he became To roam the forest at dead of night To guard the lady was his plight
Never to be together as was their right Till moon covered sun and day was night So strong was the curse in hope that they failed But love, honour and courage prevailed
While the wolf slept all through the day In a cave safe hidden away The lady returned for the day at least Guarded by a thief and a lowly old priest
Come the dark of night, such pain They were together once again But she as a hawk and he became man If only they could form a plan ………
Break the spell that keeps them apart Leaves both with a broken heart Then the priest foretold of the day, soon The night would black out the sky at noon
The nasty Bishop of Aquila sent out A party of assassins off to scout To seek out and slay the pair Lest they come back and dare…..
To kill that Black Magic practising fiend Send his carcass blowing in the wind! Back they came just before noon He, riding his horse, and none too soon
He slew the master of the black art As the moon covered the sun, came the dark The lady cast her feathers off and then They stood as two lovers, together again
This fantasy of a romance is alive today Though in a modern sort of way My love is miles apart from me Cut off by a vast raging sea
One day our night and day will clash And when that time will come to pass We will stand together too Our courage and love will see us through
