lyrics

I know these woods,
and I know I’m lost.
No more of those size seven
bootprints next to mine.

If sadness sits next to happiness
well that’s just fine, I’ll bury my heart.
If it weren’t for you singing.
If it weren’t for you singing from
the sky,
the sky.

What brought you to my respite,
my mourning dove?
Your song can’t break this face.
Leave me lost, give me up

You lurk behind me like
you’re a shadow, reminding me
of my poor little girl
with that torturous melody.
Why?
I scream Why?

A crack from the earth,
A silence above.
I know why you sang,
my scared mourning dove.
You thought she was gone,
but now she’s singing along.
You’re singing again.
You did it, you filled
my eyes.
You filled my eyes.
