Crow and Dove

Here are the main songs with crow + dove in them:

### *1. Nightwish - "The Crow, The Owl and The Dove"*
Symphonic metal, from _Imaginaerum_. It’s about pride, wisdom, and love
Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
Don’t give me love, I've had my share
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead

A crow flew to me, kept its distance
Such a proud creation
I saw its soul, envied its pride
But needed nothing it had

An owl came to me, old and wise
Pierced right through my youth
I learned its ways, envied its sense
But needed nothing it had

A dove came to me, had no fear
It rested on my arm
I touched its calm, envied its love
But needed nothing it had

A swan of white, she came to me
The lake mirrored her beauty sweet
I kissed her neck, adored her grace
But needed nothing she could give

Gar tuht river, ger te rheged
_Note: "Gar tuht river, ger te rheged" = "Go to the river, arrive at fairyland" in Cumbrian_ 8dab

### *2. Watchhouse - "Turtle Dove & the Crow"*
Folk/Americana
She came along like she was hiding some deep secret,
but now she's gone and I carry on to keep it.

Some mysteries we will never know,
the turtle dove and the crow made a nest.

She came along like she was hiding some deep secret,
she saw the future, boys, and I was her ticket.
The American dream suited us just fine.
I'm a lay down easy in my time of dying.

### **3. "The Crow and the Dove" - Teen Ink Poem/Song**
A story-song about love and loss
Crow, lowly and discouraged
Had fled from a place far away

Dove, an angel of the light
Sweeter than the honey
The bees harvest every day

So the Crow came back to life
The love in Crow’s heart burned
And every day Crow waited
Hoping to see Crow’s beloved Dove

A shriek filled the air
As an arrow struck Crow’s breast
Dove, the last image in Crow’s mind
Falling to his death

I, the wise Owl of the gloomy forest
Live to tell the gruesome tale
Of the ugly Crow and the lovely Dove
Coming together under the Hunter’s hand
