noah s dove

10,000 Maniacs

You win a prize for that
For telling lies like that
So well that i believed it
And i never felt cheated...

You were the chosen one...
The pure eyes of Noah's dove...
Choir boys and angles...
Stole your lips and your halo...

In your reckless mind, you act as if you've got more lives...
In your reckless eyes, you only have time and your love of danger...
To it your no stranger...

In that August breeze...
Of those forgotten trees...
Your time was set for leaving, come a colder season...

In your reckless mind, you act as if you've got more lives...
In your reckless eyes, it's never too late for a chance to seize some...
Final breath of freedom...

Very...
So very wise...

Don't reveal it I'm tired, tired of knowing...
Where it is you're going...

In your reckless mind, you act as if you've got more lives...
In your reckless eyes, it's never too late for your love of danger...
To it you're no stranger...

In your reckless mind, you act as if you've got more lives...
In your reckless eyes, it's never too late for a chance to seize some...
Final breath of freedom.
