Do you Gsee that Ddove who Emflies to Cme?
Can you Ghear my Dlove as she Ccries to Gsleep?
[Verse]
Where the GMackinaw riverD  
MeEmets the great CIllinois
GThere I gave my Dlove
To a Clow-born Gboy
I was Glost in the Dlight
Of a Emflame burning Cwild
When GI felt the Dstirring of
A Cstar-crossed Gchild

  Well the Gburden Dgrew
  EmAnd we planned Cour escape

Can you Ghear my Dlove as she Ccries to Gsleep?
Do you Gsee that Ddove who Emflies to Cme?
