Turtle dove you wake me with a
melancholy cry
as the sun streaks the sky and
the dawn defeats the night
do you try to wake me from my
sleep
to open the windows and hear you
weep
Do you sit there watching as I
lay my head to rest
at night when my sadness tries
to confess
is it hung above me as I dream
oh turtle dove I am not what I
seem
ooooo
oh turtle dove I am not what I
seem
Why don't you preen your
feathers and fly into the light
Oh I would fall like Icharus
despairing of my plight
The soles of my feet are heavy
on the ground
But when I close my eyes I am
heaven bound
oooooo
when I close my eyes I am heaven
bound
Turtle dove tell me what more
do you see
Is anyone else at all like me
Do others fail do they fall do
they fly
To find fields of plenty And
peace of mind
ooooooo
To find fields of plenty And
peace of mind
ooooooo
To find fields of plenty And
peace of mind
