Song from Lonesome Dove - Michael Martin Murphey

Lonesome dove, I hear your cry

And if I had wings to fly

I’d join you in your restless flight

There’s no place for a lonesome dove to rest tonight

A rambler’s heart is like a lonesome dove

Far away from his true love

He could not find his mate in flight

There’s no place for a lonesome dove to rest tonight

On the wing, wandering

He flies on and on, his song to sing

Searching for his long lost love

Must he always be a lonesome dove

Like cowboys and bold outlaws

Riding for a long lost cause

Searching for the one true light

Our hearts feel just a lonesome dove tonight

Lonesome dove, we hear your cry

And if we had wings to fly

We’d join you in your restless flight

There’s no place for a lonesome dove to rest tonight
