Michael Martin Murphey - Song from Lonesome Dove lyrics

Lonesome dove, I hear your cry And if I had wings to fly I'd join you in your restless flight There's no place for a lonesome dove to rest tonight A rambler's heart is like a lonesome dove Far away from his true love He could not find his mate in flight There's no place for a lonesome dove to rest tonight On the wing, wandering He flies on and on, his song to sing Searching for his long lost love Must he always be a lonesome dove Like cowboys and bold outlaws Riding for a long lost cause Searching for the one true light Our hearts feel just a lonesome dove tonight Lonesome dove, we hear your cry And if we had wings to fly We'd join you in your restless flight There's no place for a lonesome dove to rest tonight
