Jhené Aiko - Mourning Doves Lyrics

Jhené Aiko Lyrics

"Mourning Doves"

We made mornin' love
As the mourning doves
Sang a song for us
They were warnin' us
They were mournin' our love
It was more than our love
They cried over us
It was over for us

Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh

Ages and phases and stages
But baby there really ain't no end
Some doors were closed just for others to open
I'm hopin' you let me in
Truth to be told, we're only gettin' older
But closer than we ever been
The doves weren't cryin', they only were tryin'
To tell us to try it again

Ooh-ooh-ooh
Ooh-woah, oh
Ooh-ooh-ooh, ooh-woah
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh, woah
