Broken Dove

(album: Feathers & Bones - 2014)

I broke down the other day
Like when you died on that summer day
And all the sky was gray
And now my hope is gone
My love is singing an angel's song

Hold on be strong
It's hard while I'm gone
You're on your own but not for long
When the day comes I'm gonna take you

I fell down the other day
Going through your clothes trying to give them away
I thought that I could see the way
Cause all my dreams are there
In a box in a locket at the top of the stairs

Hold on be strong
It's hard while I'm gone
You're on your own but not for long
When the day comes I'm gonna take you home

A hundred shades of blue when they shine on you
Make you look like a picture in a book
And we carried love like a broken dove
In our hands God was laughing at our plans
And the water came and it carried us away
Through the hills through the valleys in the rain
And we went over the edge
And I heard you say that you got to hold on be strong
It's hard my love when I'm gone
You're on your own but not for long
When the day comes I'm gonna take you home
