(Lyrics by James Seals; music by James Seals and Dash Crofts, 1975)
|
Truth is but a woman with flaxen hair,
|
While blown by the wind cannot begin.
|
Lest the ravens utter in despair, for they cannot caress her flower
|
Nor in the hour find hands of care, so 'round the maypole drift their wings
|
They cannot drink her beauty springs.
|
|
Truth is but a woman, with eyes of black,
|
While seen through her tears can see no fears.
|
Lest they be seen from the other side, and I cannot behold her smile
|
But in my trial hope to abide, so 'round the maypole hover near
|
In someway her lover here, and truth is but a woman.
|
|
Truth is but a woman, adorned in white
|
A child in waiting like a mystic bride.
|
Without a husband standing by her side, and she cannot withhold her love.
|
It's you and me she's thinking of, so 'round the maypole drift our wings
|
Listen to the song she sings. Oh, truth is but a woman, oh.
