Mourning Dove

Copperdown


Tell me why you can't feel the sunshine

Tell me why you only feel the rain

Your blue sky is always clouding over

Your alibi is always the same


Fly away my love

Play the mourning dove

Cry for everything

and never learn to sing like an angel through the dark


Don't talk to me of tragedy and sorrow

like you're the only one who's ever felt the pain

That's just the way that I used to play

I was three times my back to the wall before I turned around

I was set up to take a fall like a second-rate clown

Take me out and throw me in the water

Turn me around and pull me back again

You could shine like all the stars of heaven

Tell me why you only feel the rain


Got to finish with all these things that been keeping you down
