• I heard a distant songbird sing
    On a night the moon was full, and big

    It’s song was sad, but I felt better
    I wasn’t alone, as I read the letter

    On the night the moon could banish fear
    The brightest night, of all the year

    It spoke of truth, I already knew
    Of long lost love, of me and you

    It’s for the best, we both decided
    But inside I just could not hide it

    You promised me that you’d be there
    You swore to me that you really cared

    But now of course, you’ve left and gone
    You should’ve sealed those vows, where lies belong

    You said that you would surely return
    But not before I lay and burn

    With undying love for only you
    I love you, sweetheart, those words are true

    I drop the letter, let it fall
    Another one, I’ve lost them all

    On the night the moon could banish fear
    The brightest night, of all the year

    I lost my love, and listened too
    The gentle cry of the mourning, Dove
