The Roches - A Dove lyrics

rate me

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
