Mourning Doves

Mourning doves are building nests by my window They're chirping in their hideaway, safe from the rain And I watch Through the door Safe inside Wondering why Why we can't be friends with little birds But then I remember That soon they will be flying away Soon they will pack up their things and go Once the babies learn to fly They'll take their dreams into the sky I would hate to be left behind The baby birds are growing up, doing things for themselves And then there's me, always tryna be somewhere else Little birds Would you mind If I come too? Or maybe next time? Oh, if only I could be that brave I don't think I'd be here Soon they will be flying away Soon they will pack up their things and go Once the babies learn to fly They'll take their dreams into the sky I would hate to be left behind But what you didn't know is I've already got a place where I can go It's so far away and I'm a little afraid of finally letting go 'Cause soon I will be flying away Soon I will pack up my things and go Once the babies learn to fly And spring begins to light the sky We'll all take our dreams and learn to fly I'm a little sad to say goodbye
