A Dove

This changes everything
Why is it happening
I got a feeling
And you're changing

The sky was darkening
When we went out wandering
It got confusirlg
And i started singing

Ing

Will we be marrying
Instead of parting
Or are you still singing
The praises of waiting

I had a gift to bring
A simple little thing
I had a little fling
That we won't be mentioning

Ing

Where is all this leading
Is there any meaning
Are we just careening around?

I'm always wondering
When it starts thundering
Which is the better thing
To be still or running

You with the broken wing
Who fell down flying
How is it dancing
With any old earthling

A dove
Settled on the sill
And i called my cat

Love
If looks could kill
And that was that

The glass
Of the windowpane
And away she flew

Over the grass
Glistenin' in the rain
And on out of view

Over the buildings
Stone (w)rote cages
Where people live

Over the gilded
Old outrages
That we can't forgive

The moon
Hangin' in the sky
Like a copper pan

A tune
Welling in her eye
Goin' through cheyenne

The wing
Of an aeroplane
And away she flew

To sing
Searing in her brain
Your point of view

Over the mountains
Changing seasons
And the falling leaves

Long ago countin'
Damn good reasons
Colors she believes

The phone
Ringin' off the hook
Like a magic wand

My own
Let me take a look
In the polluted pond

Escapes
Aren't all that bad
And away she threw

The tapes
And any chance she had
Of returning to

Over the heartache
Lucid dreaming
Of the lost way out

And if we are awake
Who's that screaming
What it's all about

You're the two that i want
You're the two that i want
Some girls'll settle for just one
They don't know what they're missin' they ain't havin' any fun
You're the two that i want

Jane told betty she saw me last night
She had her socks shocked off but she was tryin' to be polite
We were arm in arm in arm and that just didn't seem right
I was walkin' with my babies in my high heel shoes
Havin' so much fun i nearly lost my blues
You're the two that i want

He's a big strong boy he can bust out of chains
Says what he means he don't play no games
But you what you're missin' in muscle you make up for in brains
Between you two i got my two hands full
I got one to push and another one to pull
Two that i want

I can't believe this is happenin' to me
I'm just about as happy as a girl can be
With all this lovin' i feel wild and free
Maybe i should press my luck and try for three

Do you love me
I'm confusing
Never free
I am asking
Now you don't have to
Make me beg you
Marry me

It's my birthday
Thanks for calling
Nothing's new
No one loves me darling
Like the way you love me
Sad but true

Yes i will if
You bring them over
Hem your pants
Then we will discuss it
All the reasons why
The won'ts the can'ts

Tell your lovers
It's all over
I'm your man
All the crying sobbing
And the fake heart throbbing
Falling through my hands

I will carry
Up my suitcase
Even on the stairs
Don't you worry darling
I won't ever leave you
Answered prayers

All my life i've wanted your love
Travelled all over the world looking for your love
Your love would free me from my darkest pain
If you loved me i would never have had you there to blame
All my life i've wanted your love

All my life i've asked for your love
Travelled all over the world asking for your love
In the faces of strangers i would think that i saw
Someone who could see me and accept every flaw
All my life i've asked for your love

Time to stop expecting your love
Travelled all over the world expecting your love
Always in so much pain you never noticed me
The way that i long for it to be will never be
Time to stop expecting your love
Time to stop expecting your love
