dove, dove, you'll be my dove, I'll take you as my love, as my branches grew, I knew you'd fly away, I stood tall and proud, the flood had covered the ground, as a deathly shroud, you were safe with me, forty days and nights, the rain poured, the lightning striked, you were not alone for I was here with thee, rest your weary little wings, it's just the two of us, now the world had washed away and peace had come, vail of silence fell, you hummed sweet like a bell, soothed more that tongues could tell, soon I was asleep, when I awoke the sun broke through, the whole world was glassy blue, right then that I knew, it'd never be the same, rest your weary little wings, it's just the two of us, now the world had washed away and peace had come, far off we saw some smoke, sweet lord it was a boat, how she stayed afloat, it's a mystery, I lifted my branches high, reaching into the sky, oh how you coo'd and cried, hope was found at sea, twas then you took your trip, a long flight, the ocean's grip, oh how my heart felt sick, I wept most bitterly, I've known the age, I lived so long, I've seen man come, and I've seen man gone, little bird we got it wrong, man had found no peace, I've known the age, I lived so long, I've seen man come, and I've seen man gone, little bird we got it wrong, man had found no peace, I've known the age, I lived so long, and I've seen man gone, I've seen man come, little bird we got it wrong, man had found no peace.
