oh my love as a light as a dove
as skinny as fair and dark is her hair
and her eyes dart round and fall on the ground
and her lips move along to an old country song
oh down south you'll find among the high pines
an old liquor store where we danced on the floor
oh the light on the wall it lightens the hall
but the room in the back is quiet and black
what keeps me alive is the greed in your eyes
and the sweetness and drone of your voice on the phone
but i hear in death your voice and breath
but I hear them sounds in life underground
oh how likely she was among the white stars
and craning her neck she steps round the deck
and i bow in the sand to your lily white hand
and my head gently rests in your lily white breast
(Intro)
oh my love as a light as a dove
as skinny as fair and dark is her hair
and her eyes dart round and fall on the ground
and her lips move along to an old country song
