turtle dove you wake me with a melancholy cry as the sun streaks the sky and the dawn defeats the night do you try to wake me from my sleep to open the windows and hear you weep do you sit there watching as i lay my head to rest at night when my sadness tries to confess is it hung above me as i dream oh turtle dove i am not what i seem ooooo oh turtle dove i am not what i seem why don t you preen your feathers and fly into the light oh i would fall like icharus despairing of my plight the soles of my feet are heavy on the ground but when i close my eyes i am heaven bound oooooo when i close my eyes i am heaven bound turtle dove tell me what more do you see is anyone else at all like me do others fail do they fall do they fly to find fields of plenty and peace of mind ooooooo to find fields of plenty and peace of mind
