Throwing Doves

Take a message, sacred bird
Take it, to my love
Tell her ‘oh how I long to be there’
And won’t you sing it in loves sweet air

It’s a struggle this old world
Colder by far before you find her heart
And I want to be one in two
And I want to be one with you

Such a treasure, often told
Send out a bird with your one in two
And I promise I’ll cherish the kiss
I promise, I promise you this

This old treasure must be why
We through doves in the sky from our hearts in the dark
Threading ashes in the quest for the spark
Threading ashes and throwing doves from the heart

Such a treasure, often told
Send out a bird with your one in two
And I promise I’ll cherish the kiss
I promise, I promise you this

This old treasure must be why
We through doves in the sky from our hearts in the dark
Threading ashes in the quest for the spark
Threading ashes and throwing doves from the heart

Such a treasure, often told
Send out a bird with your one in two
And I promise I’ll cherish the kiss
I promise, I promise you this
