White dove lyrics

Artist  : Patty griffin 
Song : White dove
 

Laying low in the darkness 
A long slow pain beats deep in her chest
And she wonders if he`s safe tonight 
Or if he`s warm enough
And she tries to send upon the wind
A song of her love

Well a hundred miles away or more
A man learns what he`s worth
A canon fires his body flies
Ashes to the earth
Far away something stirs a woman from her sleep
Flutters at her windowsill and she begins to weep

Oh white dove fly to her window in the morning
Tell my sweet love that I`m gone that I`m gone
White dove tell my love all there is to say
Oh white dove fly fly away

Well a hundred miles away or more
This wind becomes a storm
Another soldier closed his eyes
And slowly becomes warm
Turns his eyes to the sky from where he`s laying
low
There he sees the white dove lying in the snow 

Oh white dove fly to her window in the morning
Tell my sweet love that I`m gone that I`m gone
White dove tell my love all there is to say
Oh white dove fly fly away
