Alana henderson - Two turtle doves lyrics

We once were like two turtle doves On a bough up in the blue I never knew what love could do My dear 'til I met you Here I lie on feather bed Feathers from the wing Oh feathers to caress me now But none to hear me sing It is a cold and wintry night That I must lie alone My turtle dove has taken flight Oh will he ne‘er come home come home Oh will he ne‘er come home? And when he left my turtle dove Sand fare thee well a while He promised he'd return to me If it took ten thousand miles Ten thousand miles is a very long while With you not here with me And though I will lament you love My tears you will not see Oh do you see the turtle dove Who flies from vine to vine She's looking for her own true love As I have looked for mine And do you hear the turtle dove In yonder mulberry tree She's weepin' for her own true love As I have wept for thee So fair thou art my bonny lad So deep in love am I That I'll ne'er love another 'Til the stars fall from the sky The sea it could run dry my dear The rocks could melt in the sun But I'll ne'er love another lad 'Til all these things be done The blackest crow you've ever seen Will turn its feathers white If ever I forget you dear The day will turn to night And hills will fly my turtle dove The raging billows burn And fire will freeze and snow will rise The elements will turn And if he ne'er returns to me My heart will stop thereof Place two turtle doves upon my chest To show I died for love Two turtle doves upon my chest To show I died for love We once were like two turtle doves On a bough up in the blue I never knew what love could do My dear 'til I loved you
