Raise a white sail if you love me   A black sail if you don't   Seal me off in an impregnable tower   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      Isoldt 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   Till death do us part   But our love is a vow which has been wrought   From heart to heart
