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 it's distance Such a proud creation I saw it's soul, envied it's pride But needed nothing it had An owl came to me, old and wise Pierced right through my youth I learned it's ways, envied it's 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 it's calm, envied it's 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 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
