Turtle Dove |
| The shackles I wear not made from a chain |
| They make but a whisper in the dead of night |
| Without a sound I find myself bound |
| To wander the place where I was alive |
| And you, my friend, have come on an errand |
| I know that you have a story like I did |
| But no one can know, if you don’t show |
| The pain in your heart and the cry at your lips |
| I’m not from this place, I traveled from far |
| I came here after they ended the war |
| Tried to forget but when I closed my eyes |
| I saw blood on my hands and a gun on the floor |
| So it was here I put a knife to my breast |
| And here I will remain evermore |
| But you can go on, fix what is wrong |
| If you keep from the demons who knock at your door |
| Won’t you come back and see me again? |
| Won’t you come back someday? |
| I’ve tried, and I’ve tried to make my way from here |
| But I’m stuck at heaven’s gate |
| Stuck at Heaven’s gate |
| I know that you are not meant for my fate |
| You haven’t a heart that is made of stone |
| You’re warm and free, listen to me |
| I am a specter, and you are my son |
| Won’t you come back and see me again? |
| Won’t you come back someday? |
| I’ve tried, and I’ve tried to make my way from here |
| But I’m stuck at heaven’s gate |
