the wind and the dove

bill callahan

somewhere between the wind and the dove

lies all i sought in you

and when the wind just dies

when the wind just dies

and the dove won't rise

from your window sill

well i cannot tell you

which way it would be

if it was not this way too

for the wind and the dove

for the wind and the dove

and i am a child of linger on

i peer through the window gone

i am a child of linger on

i peer through the window gone

somewhere between the wind and the dove

lies all i lost in you

and when the wind just dies

when the wind just dies

and the dove won't rise

from your window sill

well i cannot tell you

which way it would be

if it was not this way too

for the wind and the dove

for the wind and the dove

and i am a child of linger on

i peer through the window gone

i am a child of linger on

i peer through the window gone
