| 2 | My jesses are fear, and my hood my own lies, | ||
| 3 | C D A | ||
| 2 | My wings pinned to ground by my thieving. | 4 | My wings pinned to ground by my thieving. |
| 3 | Each evening I swear that tomorrow I’ll fly, | 5 | C D A |
| 6 | Each evening I swear that tomorrow I'll fly, | ||
| 7 | G D A | ||
| 4 | But each dawn breaks not believing. | 8 | But each dawn breaks not believing. |
| 9 | D A | ||
| 10 | I'm a mouse among men with no goals, no dreams-- | ||
| 11 | G D A | ||
| 12 | No reckon of right or of wrong-- | ||
| 13 | D A | ||
| 14 | But a magical maiden, more real than she seems | ||
| 15 | G D C E E7 | ||
| 16 | Fills my soul with the glory of song! | ||

| 6 | I’m a mouse among men, with no goals, no dreams, | 18 | Chorus (after each verse): |
| 7 | No reckon of right or of wrong. | 19 | A C G D |
| 8 | But a magical maiden, more real than she seems, | 20 | Ladyhawke! Ladyhawke! Fly bravely on, |
| 9 | Fills my soul with the glory of song. | 21 | A E E7 |
| 22 | Wings spread at each morning's light. | ||
| 23 | A C G D | ||
| 24 | Ladyhawke! Ladyhawke! From dusk to dawn, | ||
| 25 | C E A | ||
| 26 | Teach me the magic of flight! | ||
| 10 | 27 | ||
| 11 | Ladyhawke! Ladyhawke! Fly bravely on, | 28 | C D A |
| 12 | Wings spread at each morning’s light. | 29 | I feel strange lending help when I don't even know |
| 13 | Ladyhawke! Ladyhawke! From dusk to dawn, | 30 | C D A |
| 14 | Teach me the magic of flight. | 31 | Where she's headed or where she has been, |
| 32 | C D A | ||
| 33 | But my heart answers "Yes!" before my head can say "No!" | ||
| 34 | G D A | ||
| 35 | And too soon I am drawn in. | ||
| 36 | D A | ||
| 37 | But it's not just her beauty, for beauty I've seen | ||
| 38 | G D A | ||
| 39 | (Though she outshines what beauty I know). | ||
| 40 | D A | ||
| 41 | It's the faith she can place in the truth of a dream, | ||
| 42 | G D C E E7 | ||
| 43 | The good she believes I can show! | ||
| 15 | 44 | ||
| 16 | I feel strange lending help when I don’t even know | 45 | C D A |
| 17 | Where she’s headed or where she has been. | ||
| 18 | But my heart answers, “Yes!” before my head says, “No,” | ||
| 19 | And, too soon, I am drawn in. | ||
| 20 | |||
| 21 | But it’s not just her beauty, for beauty I’ve seen | ||
| 22 | (‘Though she outshines what beauty I know). | ||
| 23 | It’s the faith she can place in the truth of a dream, | ||
| 24 | The good she believes I can show. | ||
| 25 | |||
| 26 | Ladyhawke! Ladyhawke! Fly bravely on, | ||
| 27 | Wings spread at each morning’s light. | ||
| 28 | Ladyhawke! Ladyhawke! From dusk to dawn, | ||
| 29 | Teach me the magic of flight. | ||
| 30 | |||
| 31 | I know I will always be weighted to ground, | 46 | I know I will always be weighted to ground, |
| 32 | ‘Though the path of the birds I admire, | 47 | C D A |
| 33 | But she makes me believe in the promise I’ve found | 48 | Though the path of the birds I admire. |
| 34 | Chasing flight’s dream ever higher. | 49 | C D A |
| 35 | 50 | But she makes me believe in the promise I've found | |
| 36 | For “unheard of” means only it’s undreamed of yet; | 51 | G D A |
| 37 | “Impossible” means not yet done. | 52 | Chasing flight's dreams ever higher. |
| 38 | The magic I’ve seen here I’ll never forget, | 53 | D A |
| 54 | For unheard of means only it's undreamed of yet, | ||
| 55 | G D A | ||
| 56 | Impossible means not yet done. | ||
| 57 | D A | ||
| 58 | And the magic I've seen here I'll never forget; | ||
| 59 | G D C E E7 | ||
| 39 | The miracles love has begun. | 60 | The miracles love has begun. |
| 40 | |||
| 41 | Ladyhawke! Ladyhawke! Fly bravely on, | ||
| 42 | Wings spread at each morning’s light. | ||
| 43 | Ladyhawke! Ladyhawke! From dusk to dawn, | ||
| 44 | Teach me the magic of flight. |
| 1 | 1 | Notes from Divine Intervention CD: | |
|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | I have very little control over what I choose to write music about. I never know what books or movies will inspire me, and I'm sometimes disappointed that I never come up with a song about something I really love (Why haven't I written anything for Buffy the Vampire Slayer?). But I knew walking out of the theater that the movie Ladyhawke had woken up something in me. A few days later, I was just playing through the strong, strumming opening chords I could hear in my head when my roommate leaned through the door of my bedroom and said, "You're writing a song for Ladyhawke, aren't you?" | ||
| 3 | "How did you know?" I asked, startled. | ||
| 4 | She shrugged. "It just sounded like Ladyhawke." | ||
| 5 | I still consider that one of the nicest compliments anyone ever paid one of my songs. |
