The Dove, The Shrew, & the Raccoon Lyrics by Ismay

Desert Pavement

2024

[Verse 1]
She hasn’t heard what someone had to say
About the thing that would happen today
Yes she would fall from the nest there on high
And what am I, what am I, what am I, what am I
Can I fly, can I fly, can I fly
Oh I’m a dove
[Verse 2]
Under the earth oh a family did live
But the rains came and then drove them above
Opening up to the wind and the chill
They did cry. they did cry, they did cry, they did cry
Down from high, down from high, down from high
A bird above
[Bridge]
Into the world and away from
Places we know so that we can become
More than the sum of our parts, just repeating each day
I felt that I was completed
And wasn’t aware that I was just a kid
I had to grow, jump from the comfort of home
[Verse 3]
They hadn’t known that outside of the fence
Worlds there existed of consequence
Oh they climbed and scratched but the wood was so tall
Why can’t I, why can’t I, why can’t I, why can’t I
Reach the sky, reach the sky, reach the sky
Over and down
