Turtle Dove Lyrics

Grey Delisle Turtle Dove

...For A.P.

Just a lonesome turtle dove
Circlin' round the stars above
Searchin' for my one true love
Just a lonesome turtle dove

In the black night she stole away
Left me cold at break of day
Now I know not where she lay
In the black night she stole away

Weepin' low and wonderin' why
Many tears with no reply
Journeyed to the riverside
Weepin' low and wonderin' why

With the memory of your face
Slipped away without a trace
'Til the angel's song replaced
That sweet memory of your face

Now I'm just a turtle dove
Circlin' round the stars above
Searchin' for my one true love
Just a lonesome turtle dove
