Little Dove, Little Dove
Where can you be?
Far away, far away
Out on the sea

Watching the seals at play
Keeping the wind at bay
Little Dove, Little Dove
What do I hear you say?

Quietly, quietly
Whisper your words
for the wind will carry them
out into the world.

Thoughtfully, thoughtfully
Consider your words
For everything voiced
Is eventually heard.

Little Dove, Little Dove
Pushing gently ahead
Taking me home
Or is it just there, instead?
