I Took a Life

One morning

I saw a morning dove outside

Resting on a telephone line

After the rains came

I took my poor aim

And staring down the barrel

Of my b.b. gun

I did what’s done

And now I find

I took a life

In circles

I drove in circles around the block

Waiting for my time to pick her up

It went so quickly

I could rest easy

And stepping in the car

She said it all went well

But her face would tell

That’s not quite right

I took a life

I took a life

And any purpose I could tell

Still seems unkind

I may not buy it for myself

But there’s a little bit of something

That I never left behind

This is a million times

I took a life
