WOODEN DOVE
My light has gone, the world spun on
I threw myself away
Into a bag the army had
And died in its green shape
The drunks, your dog, a whirling log
These things that I won't say
They all provide a darker side
These things, they keep me gray
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
I lost my love, my wooden dove
She broke then went away
She flew outside in white moonlight
That dove, she made me great
We have a child, she got my smile
She got most everything
I'd apologize for a missed life
If I just knew her name
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
We're only alone for one life
We're only alone
I threw myself away
Into a bag the army had
And died in its green shape
The drunks, your dog, a whirling log
These things that I won't say
They all provide a darker side
These things, they keep me gray
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
I lost my love, my wooden dove
She broke then went away
She flew outside in white moonlight
That dove, she made me great
We have a child, she got my smile
She got most everything
I'd apologize for a missed life
If I just knew her name
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
Oh don't you cry
We're only alone for one life
We're only alone for one life
We're only alone
