One Dove Lyrics
One dove
You're the one I've been waiting for
Through the dark fall
The nightmares, the lonely nights
I was born
A curling fox in a hole
Hiding from danger
Scared to be alone
One dove
To bring me some peace
In starlight, you came from the other side
To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy
One dove
I'm the one you've been waiting for
From your skin I am born again
I wasn't born yesterday
You were old and hurt
I was longing to be free
I see things you were too tired
You were too scared to see
One dove
To bring me some peace
In starlight, you came from the other side
To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy
One dove
To bring me some peace
In starlight, you came from the other side
To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy
One dove
To bring me some peace
In starlight, you came from the other side
To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy
Eyes open, shut your eyes
Eyes open, shut your eyes
Eyes open up
You're the one I've been waiting for
Through the dark fall
The nightmares, the lonely nights
A curling fox in a hole
Hiding from danger
Scared to be alone
To bring me some peace
In starlight, you came from the other side
To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy
I'm the one you've been waiting for
From your skin I am born again
I wasn't born yesterday
I was longing to be free
I see things you were too tired
You were too scared to see
To bring me some peace
In starlight, you came from the other side
To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy
To bring me some peace
In starlight, you came from the other side
To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy
To bring me some peace
In starlight, you came from the other side
To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy
Mercy
Eyes open, shut your eyes
Eyes open up

i can't believe this has no comments. this is undoubtedly the best song on the album and one of the most utterly beautiful he's ever written.
Today is a part of 1918. year. The 9 years time gap is unimportant for me to con divide my amazement with the DOVE...It is never too late to do this....I am never too sad to listen to it again...I am never too happy too listen to it again...I am never too much in love with this song to love it again like my own child...
