Do Not Ask for Love (First Recorded Version)

Lyrics

[Verse 1] And is it so, once more, thou art returning? Hast thou lost thy way, as once before? I warned thee more than many times, thus would it be I shall not be thy refuge once more [Chorus] Thou makest me free Then soon thou makest demands on me And I am not thy love Thou workest in me slavery But I shan't heed thee, as before I prithee, do not ask for love once more [Verse 2] So go my way, and soon, I shall go likewise And if thy path be high, then be mine low Behold my footsteps in the sand, but follow not For soon they shall be covereth with snow [Chorus] Thou makest me free Then soon thou makest demands on me And I am not thy love Thou workest in me slavery But I shan't heed thee, as before I prithee, do not ask for love once more I prithee, do not ask for love once more
