Doves

Ignore the hangman’s call
Guillotine is cleaned indeed
But book-binders will never sleep
Nor for you nor for me
Hope is a concrete-dove, but hope is a dove
Ignore the hourglass
Your sand is running out
But putting it back is not allowed
Nor for you nor for me
Hope is a concrete-dove, but hope is a dove
Hope is a concrete-dove, but hope is a dove
Hope are the tracks for a train that never comes
Hope is a concrete-dove, but hope is a dove
Hope is houses for two if a coffin’s for one
Interlude
Beware the writer’s words
When their meaning will be gone
We tried to tame them with our cages and names
If they are not said they are not heard
Hope is a concrete-dove, but hope is just a word
Hope is a concrete-dove, but hope is a dove
Hope is houses for two if a coffin’s for one
Interlude
Hope is a concrete-dove, but hope is a dove
Hope is a concrete-dove, but hope is a dove
Hope is a dove, hope is a dove
Hope is a dove, hope is a dove
Hope is a dove, hope is a dove
Hope is a dove, hope is a dove
Interlude
Hope
Hope is a
Hope is a dove
Hope is a
Hope is a dove
Hope is a dove
Hope is a, hope is a dove
