Lyrics Joni in the Moon - Dove Song

t’s a long way back
Up the hill to the house by the track
And the seeds are curling down into the mud
And I lay down and sob with the wild oats towering above
‘cause you told them all that i’m the liar

And the trees bend down to wrap me up
I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove
The secret spilling from my beak
Is a song singing truth that’ll set me free
The trees bend down, wrap me up
I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove
The secret spilling from my beak
Is what you did to me...

And I walk on alone
Fill my pockets with riverbed stones
Where the reeds are reaching out to touch the sky
And you never cared to see when the wild woman danced in me
And you told them all that I’m the liar

And the trees bend down to wrap me up
I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove
The secret spilling from my beak
Is a song singing truth that’ll set me free
The trees bend down, wrap me up
I’m swimming in the leaves like a tiny dove
The secret spilling from my beak
Is what you did to me
Oh, have a look....

Come home heart
Touching clouds with your dirt-stained glove
A box of leaves and spinifex buried in the mud
And you never cared to see when the wild woman danced in me
And you told them all that I’m the liar
