Turtle Dove

The shackles I wear not made from a chain They make but a whisper in the dead of night Without a sound I find myself bound To wander the place where I was alive And you, my friend, have come on an errand I know that you have a story like I did But no one can know, if you don't show The pain in your heart and the cry at your lips I'm not from this place, I traveled from far I came here after they ended the war Tried to forget but when I closed my eyes I saw blood on my hands and a gun on the floor So it was here I put a knife to my breast And here I will remain evermore But you can go on, fix what is wrong If you keep from the demons who knock at your door Wont you come back and see me again? Won't you come back someday? I've tried, and I've tried to make my way from here But I'm stuck at heaven's gate Stuck at Heaven's gate I know that you are not meant for my fate You haven't a heart that is made of stone You're warm and free, listen to me I am a specter, and you are my son Wont you come back and see me again? Won't you come back someday? I've tried, and I've tried to make my way from here But I'm stuck at heaven's gate
