White dove with black feathers

lyrics

The white dove with black feathers

She hides inside
the cave of her body
Where a small fire burns
just for her

She sleeps among puppies
kittens and horses
All that breathes
without threatening her


She loves life
though it tastes bitter
And she’s stronger
than giants and titans

There’s a thick wall
around ‘n inside her
Slowly she finds
little doors and answers


A car stops
Under green lights
There’s a storm
Ahead of us

The car’s yellow
Used to be white
The thunder shakes us
Where we stand

The light flickers
The wind is rising
We stare in the distance
The void

For a moment
Your eyes are green and face white
The car is driving off
Into the night

Your hair is dancing
in the wind
a churchbell calls
the lamp is finished




you point out
towards the city
there’s bells
on the wind

we take the care
that used to be white
the streets are empty
where we drive

in the city
we get out
it’s all dark
and devoid of sound

the wind has dissapeared
bells have stopped
the sky is open
and stars have popped


we are looking for a storm
we are looking for a plot
we did a lot of searching we drove a lot

and when there’s no more road
we eave on foot
and when there’s no more land
we buy a boat

we are looking for a storm
are looking for a plot
and our last sentence
end


She’s in my dreams
and in my letters
Walking and shooting
on the riverbank

The white dove
with black feathers
Flies in skies
where love is ever present
