Lonesome Dove

(Carl Jackson - Larry Cordle)



I hear a lonesome dove off in the distance

His cry echoes out through the hill

He's sad that his lover flew off with another

And I know the sorrow he feels.



Lonesome dove, we're not that different

You sing a sad song but you're not alone

You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love

I know how you feel lonesome dove.

Ooh, I know how you feel lonesome.



--- Instrumental ---



I've tried to run from the pain of his mem'ry

But I can't find a place I can hide

And that old lonesome dove is gonna mournfor his love

No matter how far he flies.



Lonesome dove, we're not that different

You sing a sad song but you're not alone

You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love

I know how you feel lonesome dove.

Ooh, I know how you feel lonesome...
