White Dove Lyrics - Patty Griffin

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
