Truth Is But A Woman Lyrics - Seals And Crofts

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
