A Dove Lyrics - Singles - The Roches

A dove settled on the sill 

And I called my cat 

Love, if looks could kill 

And that was that 

The glass of the windowpane 

And away she flew 

Over the grass glistenin' in the rain 

And on out of view 

Over the buildings stone wrote cages 

Where people live 

Over the gilded old outrages 

That we can't forgive 

The moon hangin' in the sky 

Like a copper pan 

A tune welling in her eye 

Goin' through Cheyenne 

The wing of an aeroplane 

And away she flew 

To sing searing in her brain 

Your point of view 

Over the mountains changing seasons 

And the falling leaves 

Long ago countin' damn good reasons 

Colors she believes 

The phone ringin' off the hook 

Like a magic wand 

My own let me take a look 

In the polluted pond 

Escapes aren't all that bad 

And away she threw 

The tapes and any chance she had 

Of returning to 

Over the heartache lucid dreaming 

Of the lost way out 

And if we are awake who's that screaming 

What it's all about
