Heather P Wilson - A Sad Tale lyrics

I can see just one ring dove Looking for his own true love, They`d spent their time on my apple tree Cuddled together for all to see. One cold morning (remember this is a sad tale) His love to a bird of prey fell, In horror I watched, (this really is true But I have no aim to upset you) . Just feathers were left, that sight broke my heart As those two birds were seldom apart, My garden now looks heartachingly bare With only one ring dove flying out there. I can`t give him comfort or explain any way Why his partner left him that day, Many folk say 'don`t worry it`s only a bird' But in my sad state, those words go unheard.
