Took a turn down 13th street thinking it would be my lucky day
Drove through the magnolias and across the gilded gate
Opened up my guarded heart and threw away the key
Til like a white mourning dove, you left and flew away
Oh, how did I fall in love
Oh, look where I ended up
I’m in love with a bird who’s left her cage
Left for a man who wants to clip her wings
Follow the daisies that grow along the gate
Till I see my morning dove flying away
Did you know by winter you would grow tattered wings
Given by a man who’d rather climb rubber trees
He took your hazel eyes and smiling freckled face
Now my heart has been stolen away
Now my heart has been stolen away
Oh, why did I fall in love
Oh, was it ever enough
I’m in love with a bird who’s left her cage
Left for a man who wants to clip her wings
Follow the daisies that grow along the gate
Till I see my morning dove flying away
Lost half my soul that was never really me
Flew away into a sky of poisoned candy dreams
Opened up my guarded heart and threw away the key
Now I’m not mourning the dove that flew away
Now I’m not mourning the dove that flew away
