Mourning Dove

I had my olive-skinned dream
In my hands
The call of the mourning dove
Put it to an end
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Starting to sound like me now
My baby’s got nothing to worry about
He knows I loved him then and I still love him now
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Wish the mourning dove would simmer down
I carved the word «certainly»
Into my chest
The hole was deep enough to house
A bird’s nest
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Starting to sound like me now
My baby’s got nothing to worry about
He knows I loved him then and I still love him now
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Wish the mourning dove would simmer down
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Not so bad a sound after all
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Not so bad a sound after all
My baby’s got nothing to worry about
You know I loved you then and I still love you now
Hoo hoo hoo hoo hoo
Wish the mourning dove would simmer down
