One Dove - Antony & The Johnsons, Anohni

One dove

You’re the one I’ve been waiting for

Through the dark fall

The nightmares, the lonely nights

I was born

A curling fox in a hole

Hiding from danger

Scared to be alone

One dove

To bring me some peace

In starlight, you came from the other side

To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy

One dove

I’m the one you’ve been waiting for

From your skin I am born again

I wasn’t born yesterday

You were old and hurt

I was longing to be free

I see things you were too tired

You were too scared to see

One dove

To bring me some peace

In starlight, you came from the other side

To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy

Mercy

One dove

To bring me some peace

In starlight, you came from the other side

To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy

One dove

To bring me some peace

In starlight, you came from the other side

To offer me mercy, mercy, mercy

Mercy

Eyes open, shut your eyes

Eyes open, shut your eyes

Eyes open up
