Tuomas Holopainen - The Crow, The Owl, And The Dove lyrics

[Chorus] 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 [Chorus] 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 [x3] Gar tuht river, ger te rheged [x3] [Chorus] 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
