lyrics

You have with gentle fingers
Untangled the brambled pathways of my mind
And shown me a clear road that I could follow to some peace
To some peace

But I have nothing beautiful to give
No I have nothing beautiful to give
I have nothing beautiful to give you

You have with weary arms enclosed me in your warmth
And I have rested there in happiness
In happiness uneasy, uneasy

But I have nothing beautiful to give
No I have nothing beautiful to give
I have nothing beautiful to give you

Your smiles have shown me the good way to laugh
And your living has taught me how not to die
How not to die

But I have nothing beautiful to give
No I have nothing beautiful to give
I have nothing beautiful to give you

And in return I give you my small gifts
The words I’m owned from love and sunlight
And the song my body sings when I am with you
When I am with you

Still I have nothing beautiful to give
No I have nothing beautiful to give
I have nothing beautiful to give you
