A Dove Lyrics

    A dove
    Settled on the sill
    And i called my cat

    Love
    If looks could kill
    And that was that

    The glass
    Of the windowpane
    And away she flew

    Over the grass
    Glistenin' in the rain
    And on out of view

    Over the buildings
    Stone (w)rote cages
    Where people live

    Over the gilded
    Old outrages
    That we can't forgive

    The moon
    Hangin' in the sky
    Like a copper pan

    A tune
    Welling in her eye
    Goin' through cheyenne

    The wing
    Of an aeroplane
    And away she flew

    To sing
    Searing in her brain
    Your point of view

    Over the mountains
    Changing seasons
    And the falling leaves

    Long ago countin'
    Damn good reasons
    Colors she believes

    The phone
    Ringin' off the hook
    Like a magic wand

    My own
    Let me take a look
    In the polluted pond

    Escapes
    Aren't all that bad
    And away she threw

    The tapes
    And any chance she had
    Of returning to

    Over the heartache
    Lucid dreaming
    Of the lost way out

    And if we are awake
    Who's that screaming
    What it's all about
