"Doves" lyrics

Seasons drain
Time it breaks out of me
Call it age
Call it time
Love I'll call it me

I was only a dove
Only in love
Only in love
I was only a dove
Only in love
Only in love

Pardon me
People are spilling out
Rush ahead
I give my heart, ohh

I was only a dove
Only in love
Only in love
I was only a dove
Only in love
Only in love

It's cold again
Outside something howls inside the wind
My stockpile piled high
Every burner on the stove glowing red
Save yourself friend
That's the best I can give, save yourself
It's letters I never sent
Jumbles of yesterdays packed on pages like storage spaces in basements
They called like come now, he doesn't have long to live
I dressed slowly
Came back that night, took my baby out the crib so I can hold him
I know it can slip away slow and yo you could lose it all in a moment
Stirring the soup round in the roux
Couple things roasting
Crack a window open, let the cold in, again
The trees rethreaded gold, the sign said repent
I had to let it all go so I could live in my head, again
Ransacking my mind but something hiding the vents
Ductwork or worse
Something died in the walls like a church
Locked doors never had a key but you test the handle occasionally
God forbid it swing open
Attic stairs broken, don't go up there
From the windows I watched the diggers disappear into soft wet earth
Dinner served I waited for my guests
Long table set

Someone here tonight
Won't hear that trumpet
What a privilege
What a joy

They sit amongst us
Someone here tonight
Won't feel death's sting
What a privilege

Someone here tonight
Won't hear that trumpet
They won't even wander to sleep
What a joy

Great day
Great day
Great day
Great day
Is it me?
Daddy, you're so silly
Is it me?
Daddy, you're so silly
Is it me?
Great day
Great day
Great day
