Desert Dove

I met a dove in the desert
Her name was Madeline and she was aglow
Her dress was white and off her shoulders
She told me of the many men she'd known

I watched a man walk up beside her
He was tall and wore a hat the color of bone
He drank tequila straight and talked to her in the same way
Before long, they were dancing slow

Lady of the night
Are you more lonesome with them gone or by your side?
You love them all the way they want and they need
But tell me, who does your heart wish to please?

I wonder if he sees her
Does he look her in the eyes or hide from her gaze?
Does he wonder what kind of things her body knows
Or does he think he's the only one with pain?

Does he think he's the only one with pain?

Lady of the night
Are you more lonesome with them gone or by your side?
You love them all the way they want and they need
But tell me, who does your heart wish to please?

Who does your heart wish to please?
Who does your heart wish to please?
Who?
Who?
Who?
