My love
Beneath a sea of stars
Said I love you I do I swear

My love
She asked me for my heart
So I gave it then and there

My love
Hair as black as night
I was helpless before her charms

My love
She said hold me tight
So I gave her both my arms

I was just a boy then
Unschooled in the ways of the world
Didn't know that I was
Separate from the thing that I [Am] loved
In the clear light of morning
I heard a voice from above
It said Maybe This
Isn't love

My love
She wanted to sing songs
So I gave her my whole voice

My love
She asked for ever more
I didn't know I had a choice

My love
She longed to run away
So I gave her both my feet

My love
She left me standing there
On my ankles on the street

I was just a boy then
Unschooled in the ways of the world
Didn't know that I was
Separate from the thing that I loved
In the clear light of morning
I heard a voice from above
It said Maybe This
Isn't love

I was just a boy then
Unschooled in the ways of the world
Didn't know that I was
Separate from the thing that I loved
In the clear light of morning
I heard a voice from above
It said Maybe This
Isn't love

I am a man now
I've said farewell to childish things
I wouldn't let another
Bind or cut or or clip my wings
Sometimes on certain mornings
I still hear that voice from above
Sayin it takes time
To learn
About love
