The Flight Of The Dove (Richie Furay)


If I say to you I just can't get through
Apathy, it's killin' me
First it comes and goes, then it just grows and grows
I'm findin' out I got a heart in doubt

Must it be a trend, do you find it hard to bend
Been seein' it come, think I'll get on the run
Cause one thing is for sure, the changes do occur
And what with blind man's bluff, well I got me enough

Lovin' somethin', feelin' nothin' ain't no way to go
You just never know who you love, you're thinkin' of
Put nothin' above the flight of the dove

She'll be long gone, long gone
She's got a reason to fly like a star in the sky
Can't you hear her now cryin' goodbye
She ain't a woman to lie, is that a tear in your eye

If it's harder now than it was then how
Can it be, I can't wait, you see
Once upon a time, learnin' paid the fine
You can scream and yell but some you can't tell

Lovin' somethin', feelin' nothin' ain't no way to go
You just never know who you love, you're thinkin'of
Put nothin' above the flight of the dove
