pigeon

I sent a letter off with a pigeon, I hope it reaches you okay
I never know if you'll receive it, unless I get one back one day
I hope I'm not gone, by the time that old bird comes
I wish I knew magicians, who could make my dreams come true

But the truth is life's a mission, I keep coming back to you when I'm alone
Lord, I hope that old bird comes

I hope it coos like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh

You could tell me that I've lost it, you could call me whatever you choose
I'll be waiting by the windowsill, forever writing you, I hope you write me back
I wanna see feathers gray and blue

I hope it coos like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
I hope it coos like ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Oh, oh, oh

I won't ever know if you're gonna come back
Looking out the window til the sky turns black
Sing a little note, hoping you'll sing it back

I see a little bird flap, flapping its wings
It might be time to start packing my things
See a little bird flap, flapping its wings
Oh, I can't wait, ah, to see what it brings
See a little bird flap, flapping its wings
It might be time to start packing my things
