lyrics

Mourning Dove
(extended version)

how your arms and your feet
they wrap around me
at the door and in the sheets
oh, the places we will meet
oh, my lord. oh, my soul
oh, the places we will go
(but) here with you i remain
here with you i stay

oh, my beautiful angel
your arms spread out like wings
how i love to hear you sing
oh, my beautiful mourning dove
just cooing in the light
that comes from above

when you pull away your hand
know i understand
‘cause it’s all the same here with me
when you find me in retreat
('cause) all my life, all my wounds
say nothing about you
no, you’re not the one to blame
you just found me (here) this way

oh, my beautiful angel
your arms spread out like wings
how i love to hear you sing
oh, my beautiful mourning dove
just bathing in the light
that comes from above

(extended lyrics)
i seen the wind blow against the leaf
till the tree gives up her seed
to the ground, then underneath
where the sun may never reach
oh, my lord, there’s no control
as we wait for it to grow
what becomes and what will be
we’ll just have to wait and see

oh, my beautiful angel
your arms spread out like wings
how i love to hear you sing
oh, my beautiful mourning dove
just cooing in the light
that comes from above
