Little Dove
Jack Hardy
[Verse 1]
And so you fly, little dove
And so you fly
You don't know why, little dove
You don't know why
The water is wide, little dove
The water is wide
So far to fly, little dove
To the other side
In time you'll know
But for now it's touch and go your way
[Verse 2]
You might as well try, little dove
You're on your own
Above the rising tide, little dove
The vast unknown
And clouds on high, little dove
Cloud your view
They billow white and full
To fly in blue
As winter slows
Ice melting froze on the branch you seek
[Verse 3]
Children cry, little dove
Thе children cry
Their plaintive plight, littlе dove
Of fear and fright
And those who bide, little dove
The fire and fight
They cannot cry, little dove
Nor sleep at night
You must show them how
Not then or when but now
