(Carl Jackson & Larry Cordle) I hear a lonesome dove off in the distance His cry echoes out through the hills He's sad that his lover flew off with another And I know the sorrow he feels. Lonesome dove we're not that different You sing a sad song but you're not alone You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love I know how you feel lonesome dove. I know how you feel lonesome dove. I've tried to run from the pain of her memory But I can't find a place I can hide And that old lonesome dove is gonna mourn for his love No matter how far he flies. Lonesome dove we're not that different You sing a sad song but you're not alone You've been forever forsaken by the one that you love I know how you feel lonesome dove. I know how you feel lonesome dove...
