MiscellaneousAmerican Dove lyrics by Laura Nyro
Mama, when the moon is done
I walk on by the risin' sun
Wishin' all my dreams for everyone
It's been a long time coming
I mean, love, spread your wings and fly
American dove
Fifteen and he's seen such bad around
Worst thing when they told him
God was money, he broke down, he went wild
He is the universal child
It's been a long time coming
I mean, love, spread your wings and fly
American dove
Mama, you're askin' my old ride
We're sure but Johnny ain't come home from war
Don't they honor life no more?
It's been a long time coming
I mean, love, spread your wings and fly
American dove
Father, oh, I hear the tenants
Talking in the street though the grapevine
Guess I'll go down and meet them
Father, I'll never sell my soul
Not this soul of mine
Father, it's been a long time coming
I mean, love, spread your wings and fly
American dove
Pure as the rising sun
Tell them I am long to come
To bring the birdie to everyone
Spread your wings
Come on, spread your wings
And fly
