Subject: Lyr Add: NO LOVE IS SORROW (Pentangle)
I can't find it in the Forum, so here it is:

NO LOVE IS SORROW
(Jansch/ Renbourne/ Thompson/ Cox/ McShee: © Swiggeroux Music, 1972)

Just like the songbird, deep in the forest,
I sing praises but you never hear;
And deep in my body my soul is silent,
But contented 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 me but then they cower
Behind weakness that's ruling my head.

I dearly love thee and not one other
Will know sweetness that lies in my breast;
'Tis you that made me but God forbade me
To uncover my heart to love's test.

No love is sorrow and 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 love is my soaring dove:
That's why this love is my soaring dove.

Transcribed from the insert that came with the record; I gather that the masters for this one were lost, so a reissue on CD is unlikely.
