The Crow, The Owl And The Dove Songtext / Lyric

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



Gar tuht river

Ger te rheged
