| Dovecote by Lee Madgwick |
Darkness crept into the house of dreams
longing for adventure and true love
past the meadow, whispered the stream
following the moon-glow from above
longing for adventure and true love
she left the comfort of the dovecote
following the moon-glow from above
a coo not-yet sung, stuck in her throat
she left the comfort of the dovecote
searching for a place where love breeds
a coo not-yet sung, stuck in her throat
be careful of midnight wishes you seed
searching for a place where love breeds
a coo not-yet sung, stuck in her throat
be careful of midnight wishes you seed
searching for a place where love breeds
past the meadow, whispered the stream
be careful of midnight wishes you seed
darkness crept into the house of dreams
