Track 3 on Spades Cooley's 2011 album "God is Moving on Me"
lyrics
It's a dove in the sky when I try not to lie but it comes out so fresh.
I have a heart in my eyes
Try to think in disguise
so I guess I'm depressed
Yeah I'm holdin' my breath
just taking a test
Just to see if I'm right
In the middle of notes I am speaking in code
It's my thing on the side
Tried it all 'til I saw the light
Sell my soul just to sing in the night
I have to make believe,
I have to be that song
I just hope you're there when I die
I just hope you're there when I die
...then I'll be happy.
Well it's hard to describe but I've tried all my life and I'll try 'til I'm dead.
I won't give up my hope just to send you my note
but it's all in my head
It's a dove in the sky when I try not to lie but it comes out so fresh.
I have a heart that's alone so I married the tone.
Put the secret to rest.
Rip the pages, eat the paper
I'm on your side.
Rip the pages, eat the paper
I'm on your side.
