Doves - The Cedar Room
"I'll be a shadow
In the cedar room
And leave just a memory
Alone with you
I didn't see that
It's a call too soon
I couldn't see that
It's a call to you"
"I'll be a shadow
In the cedar room
And leave just a memory
Alone with you
I didn't see that
It's a call too soon
I couldn't see that
It's a call to you"
"IF THERE´S A BUSTLE IN YOUR HEDGEROW
DON´T BE ALARMED NOW
IT´S JUST A SPRING CLEAN FOR THE MAY QUEEN
YES THERE ARE TWO PATHS YOU CAN GO BY
BUT IN THE LONG RUN
THERE´S STILL TIME TO CHANGE THE ROAD YOU´RE ON
YOUR HEAD IS HUMMING AND IT WON´T GO BECAUSE YOU DON´T KNOW
THE PIPER´S CALLING YOU TO JOIN HIM
DEAR LADY CAN´T YOU HEAR THE WIND BLOW AND DID YOU KNOW
YOUR STAIRWAY LIES ON THE WHISPERING WIND
AND AS WE WIND ON DOWN THE ROAD
OUR SHADOWS TALLER THAN OUR SOULS
THERE WALKS A LADY WE ALL KNOW
WHO SHINES WHITE LIGHT AND WANTS TO SHOW
HOW EVERYTHING STILL TURNS TO GOLD
AND IF YOU LISTEN VERY HARD
THE TUNE WILL COME TO YOU AT LAST
WHEN ALL ARE ONE AND ONE IS ALL
TO BE A ROCK AND NOT TO ROLL"
"I am the eye in the sky
Looking at you
I can read your mind
I am the maker of rules
Dealing with fools
I can cheat you blind
And I dont need to see any more
To know that
I can read your mind"
"I hope life treats you kind
And I hope you have all you've dreamed of.
And I wish to you, joy and happiness.
But above all this, I wish you love."
"But theres just something wrong when you
Just feel like youre the hardest little button
To button
I had opinions
That didnt matter
I had a brain
That felt like pancake batter
I got a backyard
With nothing in it
Except a stick
A dog
And a box with something in it"
"As you leave me please would you close the door
and don't forget what i told you
just cause you're right, that don't mean i'm wrong
another shoulder to cry upon"
"Lost in a lullaby
Side of the road
Melt in a memory
Slide in a solitude
Not 'til I can read by the moon
Am I going anywhere
Not 'til I can read by the moon
I blow you a kiss
It should reach you tomorrow
As it flies from the other side of the world
From my room in my fugitive motel
Somewhere in the dust bowl
It flies from the other side of the world"
"Forget your lust for the rich man's gold
all that you need is in your soul,
and you can do this if you try.
all that i want for you my son,
is to be satisfied."
Fate
Up against your will
Through the thick and thin
He will wait until
You give yourself to him
You took the high road
I couldn’t find you up there
You kept your jaw wired closed
I never noticed before
I used to see the signs
Now I dream of the time
I was holding on to you
For a lack of anything to do
