Madness – Wings Of A Dove

"Wings Of A Dove" as written by Graham/barson Mcpherson and Lee/foreman Thompson....
Take time for your pleasure
And laugh with love
Take the hand of another
And sing for the wings of a dove

Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove

Look up at the rooftops
When you're walking 'round
Don't think for a moment
Of looking down

Woah woah, (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove

Ha-lellujah (lellujah)
Ha-lellujah (lellujah)

Look up at the rooftops (the roof)
When you're walking 'round
Don't think for a moment
Of looking down

At a room at the top
Where we're not allowed
Cheer to the echo
Can you hear the sound

Woah woah, (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, (Yeah yeah yeah yeah yeah) for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove

Yeah yeah yeah (etc.)
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Woah woah, for the wings of a dove
Et cetera

Blue Train!
Blue train taking me from you....

    My InterpretationThe celebration of a person's life after they're gone. The description of the person's ascent into heaven. Take the hand of an angel (just died) and, rise into heaven. Don't look back.
