NOT MY LOVE

You are not my love
Though you may be beautiful
And gentle as a dove
In your golden cage

You took me in
And then you didn’t keep me
You took me in
Completely

You touched my soul
You touched me to the marrow
You went through me
Like a poisoned arrow

When the morning breaks
And the light comes flooding
Down on all our lives
And the air is singing

You are not my love
Though you may be beautiful
And gentle as a dove
In your golden cage
