Cover art for Hawkmoon 269 lyrics by U2

There is no town called "Hawkmoon". Bono was quoted as saying that it's a motel room somewhere in his imagination. It's about being drunk, ("As the room spins around") and missing someone's love. Yes, great song, though. And I love the addition of the organ played by Bob Dylan at the beginning, and the gospel choir at the end.
