Mourning Dove

Mourning dove…

Your sad and lonely song

Drifts through the breaking dawn.

It calls to me from far away.

Hold on for but awhile longer

My mourning dove.

I will be there to comfort you.

Mourning dove…

Your sad and lonely song

Accompanies the rising sun.

I hear it still, it's closer now.

Hold on for but awhile longer

My mourning dove.

I will be there to comfort you.

Mourning dove…

Your sad and lonely song

Lays silent now that day has come.

I hear it still, it echoes in my soul.

Hold on for but awhile longer

My mourning dove,

I will be there to comfort you.

Mourning dove…

Your sad and lonely song

Plays again in the evening hours.

I hear it still, loud and clear.

You need not wait any longer

My mourning dove.

I am here to comfort you.

Mourning dove…

Your sad and lonely song

Fades as day passes to night.

I hear it still as it flows through my dreams.

And when morning breaks again,

My mourning dove,

I will be there to comfort you.
