Mourning Doves

Mourning doves are building nests by my window
They're chirping in their hideaway, safe from the rain

And I watch
Through the door
Safe inside
Wondering why

Why we can't be friends with little birds
But then I remember

That soon they will be flying away
Soon they will pack up their things and go
Once the babies learn to fly
They'll take their dreams into the sky
I would hate to be left behind

The baby birds are growing up, doing things for themselves
And then there's me, always tryna be somewhere else

Little birds
Would you mind
If I come too?
Or maybe next time?

Oh, if only I could be that brave
I don't think I'd be here

Soon they will be flying away
Soon they will pack up their things and go
Once the babies learn to fly
They'll take their dreams into the sky
I would hate to be left behind

But what you didn't know is
I've already got a place where I can go
It's so far away and
I'm a little afraid of finally letting go

'Cause soon I will be flying away
Soon I will pack up my things and go
Once the babies learn to fly
And spring begins to light the sky
We'll all take our dreams and learn to fly
I'm a little sad to say goodbye
