Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
|
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
|
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share
|
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead
|
|
A crow flew to me, kept its distance
|
Such a proud creation
|
I saw its soul, envied its pride
|
But needed nothing it had
|
|
An owl came to me, old and wise
|
Pierced right through my youth
|
I learned its ways, envied its sense
|
But needed nothing it had
|
|
Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
|
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
|
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share
|
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead
|
|
A dove came to me, had no fear
|
It rested on my arm
|
I touched its calm, envied its love
|
But needed nothing it had
|
|
A swan of white, she came to me
|
The lake mirrored her beauty sweet
|
I kissed her neck, adored her grace
|
But needed nothing she could give
|
|
Got to grieve her , got to wreck it
|
Got to grieve her , got to wreck it
|
Got to grieve her , got to wreck it
|
|
|
Got to grieve her , got to wreck it
|
Got to grieve her , got to wreck it
|
Got to grieve her , got to wreck it
|
|
Don’t give me love, don’t give me faith
|
Wisdom nor pride, give innocence instead
|
Don’t give me love, I’ve had my share
|
Beauty nor rest, give me truth instead
|
