O my love is light as a dove |
|
Her skin is fair and dark is her hair |
|
And her eyes dart 'round and fall on the ground |
|
And her lips move along to an old country song |
|
Down south you will find among the high pines |
|
An old liquor store where we danced on the floor |
|
O the light on the wall, it brightens the hall |
|
But the room in the back is quiet and black |
|
What keeps me alive is the green in your eyes |
|
And the sweet distant drone of your voice on the phone |
|
Could I hear, in death, your voice and your breath? |
|
Could I hear them sounds in life underground? |
|
O how likely she walks among the white stalks |
|
And, crane in her neck, she steps 'round the deck |
|
Could I bow in the sand to your lily white hand? |
|
Can my head gently rest in your lily white breast? |
|
O my love is light as a dove |
|
Her skin is fair and dark is her hair |
|
And her eyes dart 'round and fall on the ground |
|
And her lips move along to an old country song |
