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
