Joshua Davis - Waiting on the dove

I went ^Glooking for ^C/Ganswers that ^Gcouldn't be ^C/Gfound Set an ^Guneasy ^C/Gpace on that ^Guneven ^C/Gground ^CBetween the downtrodden and the blood of my ^Gblood ^{C/G G C/G D}Why do I keep ^Cwaiting on the ^Gdove? ^{C/G G C/G}

Between the ^Grubbish and the ^C/Grubble there's ^Gno place to ^C/Ghide ^GTrust and ^C/Gtrouble can't ^Gwalk side by ^C/Gside ^CWhy is it the latter that seems to fit like a ^Gglove?^{C/G G C/G D}Why do I keep ^Cwaiting on the ^Gdove? ^{C/G G C/G}

Oh ^Gso many ^C/Gpeople looking ^Gout for their ^C/Gown With ^Gtear gas and ^C/Gplate glass, with ^Gslings and with ^C/Gstones ^CWhen there's no room to breathe it's hard not to ^Gshove ^{C/G G C/G D}Why do I keep ^Cwaiting on the ^Gdove? ^{C/G G C/G}

Yeah I'm ^Gclinging to ^C/Gsomething ^Gtoo tight to ^C/Gdrop it These ^Gtears keep ^C/Gcoming, ^Gnothing seems to ^C/Gstop it And ^Cevery drop just adds a little more to the ^Gflood ^{C/G G C/G D}Why do I keep ^Cwaiting on the ^Gdove? ^{C/G G C/G}

^GHeadlines read "^C/Gland mines and ^Ghouses ripped ^C/Gdown" I put ^Gnames to the ^C/Gfaces in these ^Gcrumbling^C/G towns I see ^Csorrow so deep, but there's laugher and ^Glove ^{C/G G C/G D}Why do I keep ^Cwaiting on the ^Gdove? ^{C/G G C/G}

I see ^Gpeople caught ^C/Gon both ^Gsides of a ^C/Gwall Must ^Gone side ^C/Grise and the ^Gother side ^C/Gfall? Can there ^Conly be peace when one side is ^Gsilenced in blood? ^{C/G G C/G D}Why do I keep ^Cwaiting on the ^Gdove? ^{C/G G C/G}

I'm ^Gflying home ^C/Gwith the leaf ^Gclutched in my ^G/Chand ^GOn either ^C/Gside there's no ^Gsign of dry ^C/Gland The ^Cwater keeps rising and there's nothing but darkness ^Gabove ^{C/G G C/G D}Why to ^CI keep ^Gwaiting? ^DWhy do ^CI keep ^Gwaiting? ^DWhy do ^Cwe keep ^Gwaiting on the ^Gdove? ^{C/G G C/G G C/G G}
