No Love is Sorrow Lyrics

just like the songbird
deep in the forest
i sing praises
but you never hear

deep in my body
my song is silent
yet content at
times when you're near

please listen to me
and i will tell thee
all those words that
have never been said

they shout inside of me
but then the coward
behind a weak man
starts ruling my head

i never a loved thee
and not one other
will know sweetness
that lies in my breast

'tis you that made me
but have abided me
to uncover my
heart to the stars

no love is sorrow
but now i'm happy
to have thee in
this world for my love

and now you must know
my soul is for thee
that's why this life
is my sorry love

Cover art for No Love is Sorrow lyrics by Pentangle, The

I'm going to bypass the fact that there's a rampant lack of accurate song lyrics on the internet -- I've actually been casually researching that area the past year or so (still working on that PhD)! This is so beautiful, I don't know how I'd feel if someone felt this way about me, it imparts intense emotion and deep love (from the context it seems the feeling is mutual). I get the sense that two people want to be together -- whatever form that may take -- and it doesn't matter if one or both of them can't verbally express their love, because they both know that they've found it with each other and it's not going away.
