Seals and Crofts — Truth is But a Woman

From the album I'LL PLAY FOR YOU (1975) Truth is but a woman with flaxen hair While blown by the wind cannot begin Lest the ravens utter in despair, for they cannot caress her flower Nor in the hour find hands of care, so 'round the maypole drift their wings They cannot drink her beauty springs Truth is but a woman, with eyes of black While seen through her tears can see no fears Lest they be seen from the other side, and I cannot behold her smile But in my trial hope to abide, so 'round the maypole hover near In someway her lover here, and truth is but a woman Truth is but a woman, adorned in white A child in waiting like a mystic bride Without a husband standing by her side, and she cannot withhold her love It's you and me she's thinking of, so 'round the maypole drift our wings Listen to the song she sings. Oh, truth is but a woman, oh
