"Carving Of A Dove" lyrics

"Carving Of A Dove"

In the marble there's a carving of a dove below your name
There's a flower from the garden on the stone above your grave
There's a sign out at the entrance to remind us Jesus saves
Oh, but you've been done a week
I haven't slept in seven days

I thought that I'd drop by to keep from drowning in my mind
There's an ocean in our room from all the tears that I have cried
They say the only thing to heal a broken heart is precious time
But forever couldn't ever
Fill this hole inside of mine

In the dresser there's a letter that you kept for me to see
It's a laundry list of things you left that's hard for me to read
There's a box that's wrapped in velvet and inside it is your ring
So I'll sleep with it tonight
In case I see you in my dreams

In the morning I'll decide if I should leave or if I'll stay
In this moment I am certain I believe I'll go away
Well they'd find me by the evening
And they'd say that I'm to blame
But what's a rope burn to a heart ache?
I'm afraid it's all the same

In the marble there's a carving of a dove below your name
There's a penny made of copper on the stone above our grave
There's a sign out at the entrance telling people Jesus Saves
Oh, I've never been so weak
So I'll see you in a couple days
