Mourning Dove

from Put Out The Stars by Rachel Efron

/

lyrics

I know that I must offer myself absolutely
So that which I love can open its blossoms to me
I’m here and I’m yours
Peaceful surrender
Forever your mourning dove
In the time before we start to be in love

I’ve traveled so far searching a space to be lonely
Ravished at last, I’m breathing you in like a drug
Breathless desire
Breathless ambivalence
Fitting me like a glove
In the time before we start to be in love

I hear you like whispering leaves as the Fall settles in
I want you like shimmering starlight collapsed to begin
I’d hold you if ever you’d suffer my arms to be right
I’ll leave you to romance my absence instead tonight

I’m sorry I can’t help but imagine the satin
Permission to kiss, the clarion ringing of bells
I’ll wed my desire
Lay with it under a darkening sky above
In the time before we start to be in love
Take your time with me, my love
I can wait to be in love
