about

One of the cover songs on the album, with some gypsy vibes. This one has a duelling guitar solo in the middle between Reggie and Jesse, and features all the voices ob the band in harmony.

lyrics

Black Dove
by Micah O'Connell

Intro
Verse 1
Where are you tonight, my little black dove?
Wings spread out like peanut butter, in the arms of someone's lover.
I wonder where you've gone, in the rain, in the storm?
City doesn't look so pretty, come to think it's kind of shitty.
Well I remember once, when hogtown was my home.
Gleaming streets have given way to entropy and slow decay.
Chorus
A canary from a coal mine would have done me good,
a slipshod lantern to light my way home.
Solo
Verse 2
Here I go again, I'm chasing after you.
Run until my blood is fire, to the source of my desire.
Well I'm no Sherlock Holmes, I'm no Dashiell Brown.
Harvest only getting redder, devotion like an Irish Setter.
Barking
And what I wouldn't give, for a drag of that cigarette.
Remember how I quit before? You told me that I smelled like tar.
Chorus
