Draw Them Near - Lyrics


Little White Dove

My love, my love
All that noise is a little white dove
In my pocket, in my pocket
Take it from me
Otherwise I’m gonna set that little dove free

Hearts break, birds fly
La di da li li li
Hearts break, birds fly

I know, I know
You’ve been bit by a mean old crow
Carried your heart, carried your heart
Off in his beak
So what’s in your mouth, baby?
C’mon, talk to me

Hearts break, birds fly
La di da li li li
Hearts break, birds fly

Last night, last night
Underneath the moonlight
I asked the owl, asked the owl
What to do
He said you only need a love that’s true

Hearts break, birds fly
La di da li li li
Hearts break, birds fly

So my love, my love
All that noise is a little white dove
In my pocket, in my pocket
Take it from me
Otherwise I’m gonna set that little dove free





Goodbye Goodbye

Today the spark went from your eye
There was a seven second pause
Then I saw lightning in the sky

If you don’t love me I’ll say
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
I’ll go do something else with my life

You don’t know when I’m true or false
Maybe I secretly feel set free
Maybe you took the load off me

If you don’t love me I’ll say
Goodbye, goodbye
Goodbye, goodbye
I’ll go do something else with my life
I’ll take myself out to the
Big world, big world
Big world, big world
While I cry inside




Ireland

Rained down by wine, circled ‘round by smoke
Your rosy cheeks take on a glow
You think I don’t understand
But I understand

Sunny dreams born leap into the air
Then fade into smoke
You won’t tell me where
But I know where

Cause in Ireland you say
The air they breathe is clean
So I pray I pray I pray
For the rain
Make me green

People that you love, they could always leave
They could leave the room
Even when you’re tugging at their sleeve
But the trouble is
They leave if you don’t dare believe
When I said I was leaving baby
Had you already gone there?

Cause in Ireland you say
The air they breathe is clean
So I pray I pray I pray
For the rain
Make me green

Green enough to be your heaven
Green enough to be your sea
Greener than the rolling hills
Could you ever see that in me?

Rained down by wine, circled ‘round by smoke
All you talk about is where you would go
When you look at me,
Do you love this world yet?
Or do you see how much better it could get?

Cause in Ireland you say
The air they breathe is clean
So I pray I pray I pray
For the rain
Make me green






Cloud Song

Said one cloud to the next,
How nice that we can rain
On the ground it seems they let
Water wash away their pain

So, don’t fade out
I will lend you my silver lining
I do not need to dress this proud

Said the daughter to her mother,
There are days when I go nowhere
But I know how I got here
Thanks for cheering for me all these years

And don’t fade out
I will lend you my silver lining
I do not need to dress this proud
And I would like to lay my riches down

Said the smile to the tear,
You’re the reason I am here
You know it’s not every day
That I have the chance to mean it
When I say

Don’t fade out
I will lend you my silver lining
I do not need to dress this proud
And I would like to lay my riches down



Love Is Where You Find It

I wanted love; all I had was pain
I wanted love; all I had was pain

I went for a walk to lose my disease
I heard a little voice say “look up at the trees”
I couldn’t really tell you what happened
But a slow smile came over me

Love is where you find it
I’m not gonna fight it
Love is where you find it
I’m not gonna fight it

So now I’m driving my car down the long highway
Driving my car down the long highway
To take the wheel and let down my hair
And do as I feel and have no cares
Inside and all around me there’ll be air

Love is where you find it
I’m not gonna fight it
Love is where you find it
I’m not gonna fight it

I’ve lost a lot of love
I’ve lost a lot of love
But this is the kind that I find in the trees

Driving my car down the long highway
Driving my car down the long highway
The rest of this can fall by the wayside
That’s gonna be me
That’s gonna be me

Love is where you find it
I’m not gonna fight it
Love is where you find it
I’m not gonna fight it


I’ve lost a lot of love
I’ve lost a lot of love
But this is the kind that I find in the trees





Song For An Angel

All my life, longing just like everybody else
I’m alright, but sometimes I get lonely by myself

Where are you?
Who are you?
When you gonna come to me?
All that I want to say is
I am here
And I believe

All my friends tell me you don’t need no one but you
I may be strong, but somehow I don’t think that is true

Where are you?
Who are you?
When you gonna come to me?
All that I want to say is
I am here
And I believe
Angel
Find me

So I step outside, let the snowflakes melt upon my face
My true love’s tears
Someday I’ll catch them with this much grace

Where are you?
Who are you?
When you gonna come to me?
All that I want to say is
I am here
And I believe





I Tried

My lover looks me in the eye
Says, baby, you failed me
If your love is really true
Why don’t I feel set free?
Bail me out, baby,
I’m not meant for this prison cell
So I fought for him
How could I know he’d brought it on himself?

So now I’d like to say
Final score aside
That even though I failed in your eyes
I tried

So I bailed him out with all my cash
I bailed him out with my love
Distracted all the prison guards
With storms I begged from above
I even pulled the warden over to one side
I said me for him
It’s fair I swear
My penance for his pride

So now I’d like to say
Final score aside
That even though I failed in your eyes
I tried

With all the pain in this world that my love
Could go to change
How could I fail in freeing only one man
From his own cage?

It hurts to think of him
Cursing me for leaving
And it hurts to think of me
No longer believing
But in the end he told me
Sorry isn’t good enough
And it finally occurred to me
Why his life is so rough

So now I’d like to say
Final score aside
That even though I failed in your eyes
I know I hurt you
Maybe I lied
So blame me ‘til the day that I die
But I tried
I tried
