Call of Dove and Whippoorwill
The call of dove and whippoorwill
Yellowed letters and faded stills
Frame an un-warmed bed on lonely night
The scent of you that lingers light
The loving end to every fight
And all the words that were misunderstood
The coffee stain that rings the wood
The little things, because you could
Linger in a haunted memory
Is this how it will always be
Your sighted love left blind to me
What hope is there I find it again
A heart fallen, I know not when
Sings the sad song of searching wren
Crying out for want of love missing still
The call of dove and whippoorwill
Yellowed letters and faded stills
The only remains of a love so bright
