Turtle Dove

I've been down This road before Far too many times With a tiny frown, But what for? I've been alone For many years Far too many times, Sheltered by tears I'm under you now I love you somehow Grieve not, my turtle dove You're the one that I love Weep not, my sweetheart Our ship of joy won't part I recollect myself You remember Believing in yourself Last December Grieve not, my turtle dove You're the one that I love Weep not, my sweetheart Our ship of joy won't part I hate the insanity inside I'm above you on this ride Towards inner paradise… Open up our dismal eyes… My turtle dove, Flying up above… Drive away the pain From my weary, Strong shoulders… Overcome the lows and highs My throat is strained Let's wait for the sun Forget the aches of yesterday Far from you again Arriving early Watched the shimmering sunrise Behind the boulders My coat is rained upon By teardrops of lonely dismay I'm under you now I love you somehow Grieve not, my turtle dove You're the one that I love I recollect myself You remember Believing in yourself Last December Fly high In the aqua-blue sky Don't be shy Soar with wings so fly I hate the insanity inside I'm above you on this ride Towards inner paradise… Open up our dismal eyes, My dearest, lovely friend From beginning to end Staring at the window On my own Once again Strangest feelings Enter inside me Dealing with stress Let it all go Just do so With you By my side Without you, I hide… I would try not to cry I wouldn't know why I'm under you now I love you somehow Grieve not, my turtle dove You're the one that I love I recollect myself You remember Believing in yourself Last December I hate the insanity inside I'm above you on this ride Towards inner paradise… Open up our dismal eyes… Walking on the street You haven't defeated me Holler at me When you are around Lost and found Bring me high above The cold ground, My sweet turtle dove Sober up and mend my scar Reply to my cries Say goodbye to lies Under cover In your covers In your covers In your covers of love, My turtle dove from above I'm under you now I love you somehow Grieve not, my turtle dove You're the one that I love I recollect myself You remember Believing in yourself Last December I hate the insanity inside I'm above you on this ride Towards inner paradise… Open up our dismal eyes… We are together in this Through our lows and highs We share chaos and bliss With all of our mightiest tries You and I belong Together I believe You and I long To laugh and relieve The shameful sorrow There's a tomorrow Behind yesterdays Of too many grays Of many sorts of miseries… Replace them with daisies, My turtle dove… My darling love… My turtle dove… My darling love...
