Falling Dove

All his life
Owned by wildfire
Lick a spark
Cause and effect

One loose word
A revolution
One kind act
Whole armies give thanks

Falling dove
Borne of ocean
Found by man
Lived on his own

Lift a sail
Tighten the knots
Lift him up
Barely breathing

Falling dove

You believe in us
Like I believe in us
Is the outcome ever
Strange enough

You keep defending me
When I’m behaving badly
‘cause you love me
‘cause you love me too much

May the best of fortune bless you
Could any creature be unmoved
The humble nature of redemption
The simple act of finding a use

Hoping and almost praying
Believing for a moment it’s true

I make a rendezvous
In Moscow station
A midnight passenger
The café is closed

In St. Petersburg
The door slides open
And I’m a dead man
‘til I see her walk through
