Take

Take from me my leisure
Take from me my gold
Feed me with hunger
Bleed me with cold

Give me nothing but a shanty shack
To unburden my weary soul

Just allow me the love of my woman
The honest embrace that erases the day
Into the fulfillment of sweet touches of night

Take from me all of the earth
Leave me my world in her arms
