Mourning Dove

Each day I sing, both dusk and dawn
Waiting for a bird who can sing along
Two turtledoves loving by my branch
Oh, maybe today I'll get my chance

Said he'd call back when he hears my song
Oh, we both knew we both were wrong
Now I'm the fool who still believes
That some bright day he'll come for me
Oh, why dear God can't it be me

Mourning dove, mourning dove
Just calling out for her one true love
They always come but never stay
When the morning comes he'll fly away

Maybe my next life I'll be a whippoorwill
Not looking for love, just my next thrill
But I'll sing on this great new day
Oh, maybe this time is the one he'll stay
Oh, God this time please make him stay

Mourning dove, mourning dove
Just calling out for her one true love
They always come but never stay
When the morning comes he'll fly away
Morning's come, it's a brand new day
Before I open my eyes I'll fly away
