Paradise Motel – Black Dove lyrics

There’s a black dove in my home
Standin’ there all alone,
In a corner where nobody ever goes.

It’s been with me a long, long time.
Since the summer Elvis died.
It keeps every secret to my soul.

Sittin’ silent like a stone,
Ebony, pearl and bone.
I dread the day with it i’m left alone.

I ride the moonlight highway. Cross the desert to the sea.
I fly when the wind blows my way.
Til the morning ends another night alone.

For it knows every sin.
In every place that I have been.
And all the hearts that have ever been done wrong.

I ride the moonlight highway. Cross the desert to the sea.
I fly when the wind blows my way.
Til the morning ends another night alone.

For it knows every sin.
In every place that I have been.
And all the hearts that have ever been done wrong.

Six strands of cold steel
Separate all that is real
From what can only happen in a song.

I stand in the bright light
Building shelter from the night.
For all the hearts that have ever been done wrong.

I ride the moonlight highway. Cross the desert to the sea.
I fly when the wind blows my way.
Til the morning ends another night alone.

For it knows every sin.
In every place that I have been.
And all the hearts that have ever been done wrong.

Tag: And I wake and hope to find the damn thing gone.
