Dovetail
Intro:
Lifted up upon the wings of grace...
Hey! Hey!
Let’s go!
Connect a string to that bird’s tail
So you can grab on and fly into the clouds...
Two doves, one tail.
So long, so long…
He flies like a bird, turns on a dime when it’s time,
A runway built for wings.
sound of plane taking off
Interjection:
It’s a bird, it’s a plane!
(x3)
steady drum beat
V1:
Can we connect from so far away?
Tin can lines don’t reach.
Everyone’s in our ears
Talking about right and wrong…
It’s a weird little lie
Making a wish on the violet sky.
Can it be a bluebird, can it be that hard?
You landed in my yard and started to sing a tune.
God, is this a sign?
Who says we must all fall down?
We can fly on under the eyes of Heaven
Together in harmoney...
Joined at the heart, melting in the air,
Singing tweet, tweet, tweet without a care.
steady snap/clap sounds with bass
Int:
Get high so you don’t hit the ground,
hit the ground flat…
(x3)
V2:
Broke my eyes on the old horse’s back.
It goes on and on for miles,
See on and on for miles…
Nothing is left but love,
Nothing else remains except for love…
C:
Wave to the children down below
On a dove’s tail, flying through the snow
Heavy blankets of ice and a chill so cold
Trying to find a place to land,
A warm place to call home…
(X2)
B:
A beauty you can’t see from up close
It’s always been there,
An auricular hallucination,
An ocular sensation,
You can’t catch something so free with your bare hands…
C:
Wave to the children down below
On a dove’s tail, flying through the snow
Heavy blankets of ice and a chill so cold
Trying to find a place to land,
A warm place to call home…
(x2)
O:
Harps and strings plucked softly
Escape to the stars on the wings of grace…
I just wanna escape to the stars with you...
