Broken Dove - The Clarks

I broke down the other day

Like when you died on that summer day

And all the sky was gray

And now my hope is gone

My love is singing an angel’s song

Hold on be strong

It’s hard while I’m gone

You’re on your own but not for long

When the day comes I’m gonna take you

I fell down the other day

Going through your clothes trying to give them away

I thought that I could see the way

Cause all my dreams are there

In a box in a locket at the top of the stairs

Hold on be strong

It’s hard while I’m gone

You’re on your own but not for long

When the day comes I’m gonna take you home

A hundred shades of blue when they shine on you

Make you look like a picture in a book

And we carried love like a broken dove

In our hands God was laughing at our plans

And the water came and it carried us away

Through the hills through the valleys in the rain

And we went over the edge

And I heard you say that you got to hold on be strong

It’s hard my love when I’m gone

You’re on your own but not for long

When the day comes I’m gonna take you home
