Mourning Dove

Can you see?

Can you see me?

Can you see in the dark?

Can you see in my heart?

Can't you see?

Can't you see me?

Can you see when we die?

How it all turns to light?

My sweet dove, my sweet lamb

Held it so tight

It slipped right through our hands

Cross my heart

Hope I die right here in your arms tonight

My sweet dove, my sweet lamb

Can you see?

Sunbursts in the twilight

Conjure the ghosts of your wild eyes

Or fade out like a firefly

I was dreaming

I could feel you breathing on me

As you whispered a prayer in my ear

And you told me that it all disappears

My sweet dove, my sweet lamb

Held it so tight

It slipped right through our hands

Cross my heart

Hope I die right here in your arms tonight

My sweet dove, my sweet lamb

Can you still?

Can you feel?

Can you tell me, there's somewhere we live on

Even after these bodies are all gone?

So I scream into the void

With no words, with no sound

With my ego destroyed

And the angels sing their prayers to the crowds

Oh, precious doves, precious lambs

Surrender your sweethearts to these tender hands

And all of your life

Just remembering how to return to the light

My sweet dove, my sweet lamb

My sweet dove, my sweet lamb

My sweet dove, my sweet lamb
