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



(Repeat chorus
