Lyrics White White Dove - Steve Harley, Cockney Rebel

White White Dove

Rose and cross — so is the battle lost?
Is there now no time to jive?
Rose and cross — you know the price it’s cost?
But the hope is still, the hope is still alive
Rosicrucius — is your story told?
Or is there still more to come?
Rosicrucius — from my simple soul
I shall eat the morning, eat the morning sun
Chorus: if i was ordered not to travel another mile
If i was told i could never see another city
There is one thing i’ll always hold, that’s the smile
Of the symbol that is peace, the white, white dove
Rose and cross — can we ever toss
All our prejudice aside?
Rose and cross — turn this petty loss
Into hope and glory, hope and glory with pride?
Rosicrucians — paint your symbols fair
Write your verses in the sand
Rosicrucians — you missed baudelaire
But we still extend, we still extend our hand…
