Black Dove (January)
 
Hey
 
She was a January girl
She never let on how insane it was
In that tiny kinda scary house by the woods
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods
 
Black-dove, black-dove
You’re not a helicopter
You’re not a cop out either honey
Black-dove, black-dove
You don’t need a space ship
They don’t know you’ve already lived
 
On the other side of the galaxy
The other side of the galaxy
The other side of the galaxy
 
She had a January world
So many storms
Not right somehow
How a lion becomes a mouse by the woods
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods
 
But I have to get to Texas
Said I have to get to Texas and I’ll give away my blue, blue dress
My blue dress
 
Black-dove, black-dove
You’re not a helicopter
You’re not a cop out either honey
Black-dove, black-dove
You don’t need a space ship
They don’t know you’ve already lived
 
On the other side of the galaxy
The other side of
The other side of the galaxy
 
But I have to get to Texas
Said I have to get to Texas and I’ll give away my blue dress
Pigtails, cowboys
The snake
They’re all my kin
All my kin
 
She was a January girl
She never let on how insane it was
In that tiny kinda scary house by the woods
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods, by the woods
By the woods, by the woods, by the woods
Black-dove
