sheila walsh - a dove amongst eagles lyrics
in a small town called innocence
hear the band play
the contest is set for today
in a small town called innocence
gather and see
the battle for you and the battle for me
no clowns and no dancers
to dazzle the eyes
they come for a much greater prize
for the souls of the children
the minds of the weak
the hearts of the innocent seek
a dove amongst eagles
he flew in the dark
and bled on the black and the gray
a dove amongst eagles
in purity, stark
above all the lies of the day
“how can we defend him?”
a young watcher cried
as he saw the bird fall from the sky
“how can we outlive him?”
the elder replied
without him, the world surely dies
a dove amongst eagles
he flew in the dark
and bled on the black and the gray
a dove amongst eagles
in purity, stark
above all the lies of the day
so the town closed its shutters
and sad hearts turned home
to weep for the one who was gone
and tender hands carried
the bird to its grave
for it seemed like the stronger birds won
but night turned to morning
and morning again
and with the new dawn a refrain
from dust and from ashes
the young bird was free
his song was of you
and his song was of me
a dove amongst eagles
he flew in the dark
and bled on the black and the gray
a dove amongst eagles
in purity, stark
above all the lies of the day
a dove amongst eagles
he flew in the dark
and bled on the black and the gray
a dove amongst eagles
in purity, stark
above all the lies of the day
