Wings of a dove

Rain come down for days make such thunder
This old house can't take that much more
And it just might take you and me under
Makin such a great commotion -
you could hear the clatter
Put the pots and pans on the floor and just let it pour
In the din tintin tabulation you can hear
-- the rain is in play The whole wide world in great jubilation
Underneath the pitter patter say it doesn't matter
Someone say you feelin okay and just fly away
On the wings of a dove you bring me my love
She's singin so sadly
Wings liftin my love! She's driftin above
-- the push and the shove
On wings of a dove
Rain come down to wash away sorrow
This whole town is covered in gray
God let it rain by gosh 'til tomorrow
Someone here in tribulation - say it doesn't matter
Someone say you feelin okay on one rainy day
On the wings of a dove she's singing of love
Of things I need badly
Things I wish I had! And when she sings sad
I would sing gladly
On wings of a dove
