Mourning Dove Lyrics by River Whyless

Monoflora

2022

[Verse 1]
Daddy was a mourning dove born to be away
His body hurt in spite of the medicine he made this time
To hold off the outside

[Verse 2]
You once made me of love with your hands
Still wet from the clay, you brought me to life
Safe from the outside

[Chorus]
Come back, back from, back from the city
Dry out your mind, I'm all that you have left
I can forgive you your love
I can give you my love

[Verse 3]
But still, you helped to pull the oil from the earth
Just like you sold the spring that brought us life
And saved us from the outside

[Chorus]
Come back, back from, back from the city
Dry out your mind, I'm all that you have left
I can forgive you your love
I can give you my love

[Outro]
Come back, back from, back from the city
Dry out your mind, I'm all that you have left
Daddy was a mourning dove born to be away
His body hurt in spite of the medicine he made this time
To hold off the outside
Hold off the outside
