rate me

AMERICAN DOVE

Mama, when the moon is done

I walk on by the risin’ sun

Wishin’ all my dreams for every one

It’s been a long time comin’ I mean love

Spread your wings and fly American dove

Fifteen and he’s seen such bad around

The worse thing when they told him

God was money he broke down

He went wild

He is my universal child

It’s been a long time comin’ I mean love

Spread your wings and fly American dove

Mama - you ask – Am I alright?

Well sure, but Johnnie he come home from war

Don’t they honor life no more?

It’s been a long time comin’ I mean love

Spread your wings and fly American dove.

Father, ooh I hear them

They’re talkin’ in the streets thru the grapevine

Guess I’ll go down to meet them

Father I’ll never sell my soul

Not this soul of mine

Father it’s been a long time comin’ I mean love

Spread your wings and fly American dove

Pure as the risin’ sun

Tell them the young lord’s come

To bring liberty to every one

Spread your wings

Come on. Spread your wings and fly

<br />
