Lyrics
Paloma
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
I woke up at the darkest hour
Every light upon the shoreline was out
I gazed out into the deep blue
As the thunderous waves roared
Ooh
In the black of night
I wouldn't be taken aback
If the water came up and swept us out to sea
Ooh
In the black of night
I wouldn't be taken aback
If the Sun gave up and never brought the day
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
The heavy rain poured down
The sky electric with the boom and rumble
And, in nerves I counted silently
Between the sight and the sound
Ooh
In the black of night
I wouldn't be taken aback
If the water came up and swept us out to sea
Ooh
In the black of night
I wouldn't be taken aback
If the Sun gave up and never brought the day
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
In the dimmest light of morning
I found a mourning dove
Paloma rode the wind to where she lay
Silent as a stone
Ooh
In the black of night
I wouldn't be taken aback
If the water came up and swept us out to sea
Ooh
In the black of night
I wouldn't be taken aback
If the Sun gave up and never brought the day
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
