mourning dove outside my house
after the heat wave
now dark gloomy days
maybe 'cause there are extra clouds
on the skies today, or
maybe 'cause not always
all love stories go too well
but today comfort calls my name
with this little song and
with this mourning dove
who comes to be fed
every morning of
every day
she cooing sings
I, seem to be repeating
after her
won't you come to comfort me?
with rocks in my dress
and smoke in my hair
I walked into a lake
to get some sleep down in there
won't you come to comfort me?
won't you come to comfort me?
With minnows in my belly
and deep in my veins
the breath-robbin' lightning
was making diamonds of rain
won't you come to comfort me?
won't you come to comfort me?
dreamed I was born on a mountain on the moon
Where nothing grows or ever rots
I dreamed that I had me a daughter
who was magnificent as a horse
won't you come to comfort me?
won't you come to comfort me?
won't you come to comfort me?
won't you come to comfort me?
