Noah's Dove

You win a prize for that,
for telling lies like that,
so well that I believed it,
And never felt cheated.
You were the chosen one,
the pure eyes of Noah's dove.
Choir boys and angels
stole your lips and your halo.
In your reckless mind,
you act as if you've got more lives.
In your reckless eyes,
you only have time and your love of danger,
to it your no stranger.
In that August breeze
of those forgotten trees,
your time was set for leaving,
come a colder season.
In your reckless mind,
you act as if you've got more lives.
In your reckless eyes,
it's never too late
for a chance to seize some
final breath of freedom.
Very, so very wise.
Don't reveal it.
I'm tired, tired of knowing
where it is you're going.
In your reckless mind,
you act as if you've got more lives.
In your reckless eyes,
you only have time and your love of danger,
to it you're no stranger.
In your reckless mind,
you act as if you've got more lives.
In your reckless eyes,
it's never too late for a chance to seize
some final breath of freedom.

The studio album that this song was originally on ('Our Time in Eden', the previous year to this 1993 live performance) features many beautiful songs.

I became a 10,000 Maniac's fan in 1987 and this MTV unplugged show came out when I was stationed at Ft.Ord in California. After many years I got to see them live in 2016 & meet the band. They were all super friendly and one of the best live bands I've ever seen. Peace ✌️ to all my fellow Maniac fans.

When autotune did not exist and talented musicians were playing instead of a computer. I hope the music industry returns to this format one day. I was so lucky to live my youth during these times. I am still in awe of this event, one of the few VHS tapes I still own but dont have a VCR anymore, thank you for sharing.

This song was once set as a soundtrack to the movie, Phantom of the Opera. It fit eerily well to it. Listening to the words from the song it accurately depicts about misplaced love which the movie was about.

Some songs have you hooked by the first verse, or the chorus. Some you love the first time you hear the first note! Then there are somg that you just know they have to be good,, just by the title! What an interesting subject!
