Mourning Doves Lyrics

Look at how far we've come
Look at this mess we've made
I'm still praying that the sun
Tears my body from the shade

Tell me that we're too far gone
Tell me that we'll be okay
Swear to God I'd leave right now
If Heaven wasn't so far away

But this is not an exercise
And nobody gets out alive
Stop. What if I, what if I stop?


Mourning doves, meet me in the morning
Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake?
Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me
I can be your shoulder
There's still room for us to pull over
But we can't stop
I swear to morning, Love
We can be together like mourning doves

Yeah, realize that no escape
Releases you from your mistakes
Oh, this is not a warning
But innocence is calling
And I sense that's it's a falling embrace

Because this is not an exercise
And nobody gets out alive
Stop. What if I, what if I stop?

Mourning doves, meet me in the morning
Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake?
Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me
I can be your shoulder
There's still room for us to pull over
But we can't stop
I swear to morning, Love
We can be together like mourning doves
We can be together like mourning doves

Because we both know
We're running out of time
We're running out of time
Listen
Listen
Listen
Listen

Mourning doves, meet me in the morning
Love, what if I, what if I die before you wake?
Promise, I promise you can lean on me, lean on me
I can be your shoulder
There's still room for us to pull over
But we can't stop
I swear to morning, love
We can be together like mourning doves
We can be together like mourning doves

Mikky Ekko (born John Stephen Sudduth) is an American singer-songwriter and record producer from Louisiana, signed to RCA Records. He is best known for featuring on Rihanna's 2013 single "Stay", which has charted in multiple countries worldwide, becoming Ekko's first-charting material.

Born John Stephen Sudduth in Louisiana, Mikky Ekko had a nomadic childhood, moving around America's deep south with his preacher father. Having settled briefly in Tupelo, Mississippi and absorbed as much gospel as he could, he relocated to Nashville, Tennessee, and started playing in bands. Mikky Ekko began working as a songwriter for other artists, but realized that he wanted to be a singer himself. He released his first EP, "Strange Fruit" (produced by Tim Lauer) on February 15, 2009 containing the first songs he’d written by himself, most of them a capella. Ekko says of his location, Nashville, United States that he is "fortunate to be in a city that’s so loving and hospitable." From September 2009, he toured with the Nashville-based collective group, Ten Out of Tenn.
