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
(Chorus) Lonesome dove we're not that diff'rent 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
