Gifts

There was a lad I meant no harm

So in exchange, I gave my arm

Perhaps he wouldn\'t have taken both, if I gave him no alarm

 

There was a man, put in a plight

And so I let him have my sight

I didn\'t believe it that harsh, but it\'s best to stay polite

 

There was a girl, called me a plague

To settle the lass, she took my leg

First the left, then the right, lit alight like a powder keg

 

There was a friend that I held dear

And yesterday, he took my ear

Again the left, again the right, losing all that made me alive

 

Sat by a river, the calm was nice

And to that river, I gave my life
