lyrics

Little brown dove made a home today
A haven from the wayward skies
She put it down with care and grace
And a melancholy song to bide the time
High above the clouds
Gazing patiently
She’s a steady queen
Floating on a cloud

Misfortunes tug at the seems
(It’s a tough gig but they’re a good fit)
Fly higher melancholy dove
Keep giving giving all your love

These empty nests hold broken dreams
(Lost another, sorrowful mother)
Fly higher melancholy dove
Keep spreading your love

They’ve got home in their hearts
(They’ve got each other)
And hearts to the sky
(Don’t need another)
They take it all
They take it all
They take it all in stride

She’s quietly dignified
(She’ll never go breaking her stride)

A quiet force in the night
(She’ll always be there by his side)

The steady queen for all time
(She’ll always be queen of the night)

She’ll never break her stride
(She’ll never go breaking her stride)
