Nightwish - The Crow, The Owl And The Dove lyrics

rate me

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
