Stranger With a Black Dove Songtext
von Peter & Gordon

Lights are burning
Flames are swimming
Through the minds
Of those who think they′re learning

Making use of false proposals
You would stoop to watch the music going on
In the minds of people who are coming, going
Everywhere but never home


But in the shadow of the night
You'll never see what I am like
′Cause I'm the one who'll take you where you′re going
I′m a river that has gone across your land
I'm a stranger with a black dove in my hand

If your ceiling filled with rumbling
Felt the pain of pictures falling to the ground
Then that floor which shields your ceiling
Hides your cities far and near and would drown

But in the shadow of the night
You′ll never see what I am like
'Cause I′m the one who'll take you where you′re going
I'm a river that has gone across your land
I'm a stranger with a black dove in my hand


Lights are burning
Flames are swimming
Through the minds
Of those who think they′re learning
