O my love is light as a dove Her skin is 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 Down south you will find among the high pines An old liquor store where we danced on the floor O the light on the wall, it brightens the hall But the room in the back is quiet and black What keeps me alive is the green in her eyes And the sweet distant drone of her voice on the phone Could I hear, in death, her voice and her breath? Could I hear them sounds in life underground? O lightly she walks among the white storks And, crane in her neck, she steps from the deck Could I bow in the sand to your lily white hand? Can my head gently rest in your lily white breast? O my love is light as a dove Her skin is 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
dart, lily, dove, white, among
