A White Tree With A Jet Black Dove

(album: Portals - 2018)

Under a sky of clouds it got no rain
I sat in a window sill without the pain
Watching a white tree with a jet black dove
That's what the world looks like without your love

I'm just a diamond that reflects no light
Lost in the ashes of a wildfire
Holding a moonrise in my coffee cup
That's what the world looks like without your love

And there ain't no good reason to believe or to force myself to
It was all just a dream and my messed up heart really mattered to you
When the lie hits the truth ain't nothing to do but sit back and watch the movie play
So I lie to my face when I look in the mirror and say that you're coming back someday

Hungry horizons swallowing the sun
That's what the world looks like without your love

Now I'm a symphony of silent sound
Turning my broken [?] reason down
I've got it all but it's still not enough
That's what the world looks like without your love

And there ain't no good reason to believe or to force myself to
It was all just a dream and my messed up heart really mattered to you
When the lie hits the truth ain't nothing to do but sit back and watch the movie play
So I lie to my face when I look in the mirror and say that you're coming back someday

I'm dreaming on canvas but the colors run
That's what the world looks like without your love

Imagine the shadow that nobody casts
I'm on the dark side of the looking glass
Up in a white tree with a jet black dove
That's what the world looks like without your love
That's what the world looks like without your love
