I hear a lonesome dove off in the distance   His cry echoes out through the hills   He's sad that his lover flew off with another   And I know the sorrow he feels      Lonesome dove we're not that different   You sing a sad song but you're not alone   You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love   I know how you feel lonesome dove      I've tried to run from the pain of his memory   But I can't find a place I can hide   And that old lonesome dove is gonna mourn for his love   No matter how far he flies      Lonesome dove we're not that different   You sing a sad song but you're not alone   You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love   I know how you feel lonesome dove
