lyrics

I was light of wing … fleet of feather
The thing I miss most? - the wind - the weather -
looking down at my flying friends
all around, a flock that never ends
Feeling the wind as it rushed past
every gust and draft catching me,
matching my swoop and dive …
feeling so alive. There was
green below …
blue above ….
I am the red-eyed dove.

I am the red-eyed dove
I am
The red-eyed dove I am
The red-eyed dove
pierced by the memory that’s
My reminder of you

Those were the days.
The ways I flew then!
high in the sky my eye would spy
Liii-ons on the prowl,
hyenas on the howl.
Didn’t bother me none
I was friends with the sun
And then at day’s end when I was done
I flew to my nest, to my hen
To the only one who ever captured my love.
I am the red-eyed dove.

We flew high and wide - The Pride of the Sky -
And we knew who was where - here -
There - the air moving - we’re grooving to every whirl.
We were brother and sister to a three-dimensional world
that swirled and shimmered –
We were skimmers on the summer breeze.
Those are my memories.
That’s what I’m thinking of.
I am the red-eyed dove
