White Sail - Cowboy Junkies

作词：Michael Timmins

作曲：Michael Timmins

Raise a white sail if you love me

A black sail if you don't

Seal me up in an impregnable tower

Or surround me with an impassable moat

I've heard all the stories told about love

Unattainable and pure

But there is one love of which I'm sure

Your fear as honed as a battle axe

I'll bear my neck I'll wear the scar

And if my nerve should fail the task

I know your faith will not roam too far

I've heard all the stories told about love

Two souls into one

But this tale of love is one we've just begun

Isolde had her Tristan

But love potions are not what we need

And Paris had his Helen

But it was infatuation that was plain to see

What I desire is your trust to inspire

This love for you which grows in me

Plant a rose tree on his grave

And on mine plant a vine

As seasons pass and markers fade

Watch them slowly intertwine

I've heard all the stories told about love

'Til death do us part

But our love is a vow which has been wrought

From heart to heart

From heart to heart
