On a train headed west
In an old rusty car
I wrote you a letter
To say I'm bound for your heart

Oh I pray I've not lost you
Beyond the hills where we danced
For your love I'd travel so far
For your love, wherever you are

Chorus:
I cry out to the moonlight please send me my love
All the while I've been searching like
A Lonesome White Dove

Sailing down the Mississippi
Southbound towards Baton Rouge
Hundreds of letters sent out to your name
Have any of them reached you?

Falling down to my knees
I hold my heart out in my hands
Give it wings to fly out into the sky
A last chance to find peace

Chorus

Bridge:
Oh Forgiveness, it can hold you like a child
To embrace you once again
I would travel a million miles

Chorus
