I'm tired of crying and not seeing the dawn
_____
I don't know whether to curse you or pray for you
_____
I'm afraid to look for you and to find you
_____
Where my friends assure me you're going
_____
There are times when I'd rather just give up
_____
And just rip out the nails of my sorrow
_____
But my eyes are dying for a sight of yours
_____
And my love waits for you again with the dawn
_____
You've taken to partying on your own
_____
Black dove, black dove, where, where could you be
_____
Stop playing with this party-girl's honor
_____
Since your caresses should be mine, and nobody else's
_____
And though I love you madly, don't come back
_____
Black dove, you're the bars of my sorrow
_____
I want to be free, live my life with who I want
_____
God, give me strength, 'cause I'm dying to go look for him
_____
You've taken to partying on your own
