What do we call this
magical man??
The Bard of Grand Bay?
Poet of the unenfranchised, speaker for the furry few??
The man that won the heart of Cathryn Ward,
eh? And ours, so many times over, with each song he makes.
?Our humanity grows a little with every song
of his we love.?Steve says it's a song
from the adoptee to the birth mother.
Gordon- 12-string guitar
牋牋牋牋牋?I have a house?- I have a home
牋牋牋牋牋?I have a place where wildflowers grow
牋牋牋牋牋?I have some trees, where squirrels can nest
牋牋牋牋牋? And mourning doves can take their rest ?/p>
牋牋牋牋牋?I have a dog ?I have a song
牋牋牋牋牋?I have to let the mystery roll on
牋牋牋牋牋?I am alive ?I am in love
牋牋牋牋牋?I want to tell the mourning dove ?/p>
牋牋牋牋牋?
牋牋牋牋牋?But when she flew she did not sing
牋牋牋牋牋?The cold wind whistled on her wing
牋牋牋牋牋?O do not grieve, sweet mourning dove
牋牋牋牋牋?Your sad old song is a song of love
牋牋牋牋牋?On the day when I was new
牋牋牋牋牋?You held me once ?no one held you
牋牋牋牋牋?I think of you as a mourning Dove
牋牋牋牋牋?That only flew on wings of love
牋牋牋牋牋?
