The dove
You never knew your father
Your mother was like a dove
She flew from branch to branch - like Noah's scout
In the midst of the floods of human activity
Always looking for safe land
Hold me - hold me - hold me oh so tight!
So strangers became enemies
How they reached out for the dove
And the dove let myself be caught
Hold me - hold me - hold me oh so tight!
With the suitcase in the door
A new city in the sunset
A new bed - a new motel< br/>Hold me - hold me - hold me oh so tight!
She never spoke of your father
Only that one night
As with kissed lips
And with terror inside Face
She fell through the door and breathed:
Hold me tight
That city was stranger - That night was louder than before
She was alone
Dissolved in tears< br/>She hid her face from me
The stranger knocked
And in came the enemy
I saw the outstretched hand
And the dove sick with fear
And I struck and I struck
And I struck with all my might
And I struck bone
And I struck the brain
The years are gone
Since that night I have mine Mother not seen
A roof of my own - a bed of my own
And I love my wife and I kiss my son
With all the love that surrounds me today
I will never forget that blood that I have shed
And that man who spoke to me as he was dying:
I am back, my son
Hold me - hold me!
[English translation:]
The Dove< br/>You never knew your father
Your mother was like a dove
She flew from branch to branch - Like Noah's spy
In the midst of the floods of human activity
Always on the look out for safe land
Hold me - hold me - hold me oh so tight!
Thus strangers became enemies
How they reached out for the dove
And the dove themselves be caught
Hold me - hold me - hold me oh so tight!
With the suitcase standing in the door
A new town in the sunset
A new bed - a new motel
Hold me - hold me - hold me oh so tight!
She never spoke of your father
Only in this one night
As if through lips kissed sore
And with a look of horror on her face
she fell through the door and breathed:
Hold me tight
That town was stranger - That night louder that before
She was alone
Disstraught in tears
She hid her face from me
The stranger knocked
And the enemy entered
I saw the outstretched hand
And the dove sick with fear< br/>And I hit out and I hit out
And I hit out with all my strength
And I hit out at bones
And I hit through to the brain
The years have come and gone
I have not seen my mother since that night
A roof over my head - A bed of my own
And I love my wife and I kiss my son
For all the love that now surrounds me
I'll never forget the blood I shed
And the dying man who said to me:
I am back my son
Hold me - hold me!
