Turtledoves from OK, BELOVEDS by Team Bright

Turtledoves

If I could show what is in my core
I fear you would know me less, not more
but if I could glow down all around you dear
I’d fill you with warmth so clean and pure

Some of us come from another sun
came to unravel what’s now undone
and if I could take you up to my throat’s door
I’d show you a sunstar crystal core

Then we could be finally free my love
free as the rain-gray turtledoves
free as their song-soaked love my love, my love

If I could show what is in my chest
well then you would know me most and best

and if I could pour out, all around unbound
you’d know how I really sound
I could flow out to uphold your bark
Surround you and sing to your wind-swept heart

I’ll hold you forever, you’re dear as salt
burn for you bright like Fomalhaut

Then we could be finally free my love
free as the bells on a wild foxglove
free as the rain-gray turtledoves
free as their song-soaked love my love, my love
