Lyrics
The Dove Has Flown
Music & Lyrics:
2003, Howie Moscovitch & Jennifer Noble
The Dove has flown
I don't know if you're ever coming home
I hold my hope out like splayed fingers in the sand
My prayers go with you and - don't know where you'll ever land
The seed is sown
The Dove has flown
The Dove has flown
You're my love, and love cannot be owned
I hold my heart out like a beacon in the sea
To guide you gently - 'cause we raised you to be free
Now that you're grown
The Dove has flown
Fly away
Take our love, our faith, belief in you
We're on your wing in all you do
This love lasts a lifetime
Fly away
Though you're out there on your own, you're not alone
You've got a home - come on home
The Dove has flown
I know you're flying to wherever you belong
We learned the hard way how rich our love could be
Life's little ironies - I raised you, but you raised me
Now that we're grown
The Dove has flown
Fly dove
Make your way my love Fly, fly
Fly dove
Make your way my love Fly, fly
Outro:
Fly away my love Fly, fly
The Dove has flown
Fly, Dove Fly, Fly The Dove has flown
