Black Dove [January] lyrics

She was a January girl

She never let on how insane it was

In that tiny kinda scary house

By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods

By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods

Black dove, black dove

You're not a helicopter

You're not a cop out either, honey

Black dove, black dove

You don't need a space ship

They don't know you've already lived

On the other side of the galaxy

The other side of the galaxy

The other side of the galaxy

She had a January world

So many storms, not right somehow

How a lion becomes a mouse

By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods

By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods

But I have to get to Texas

Said I have to get to Texas

And I'll give away my blue, blue dress

My blue dress

Black dove, black dove

You're not a helicopter

You're not a cop out either, honey

Black dove, black dove

You don't need a space ship

They don't know you've already lived

On the other side of the galaxy

The other side of

The other side of the galaxy

But I have to get to Texas

Said I have to get to Texas

And I'll give away my blue dress

Because, cowboy

The snakes, they are my kin

Are my kin

She had a January girl

She never let on how insane it was

In that tiny kinda scary house

By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods

By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods

By the woods, by the woods, by the woods

Black dove
