11. Wed For Love
(Heikkilä - McGowan)

I found this old poem Davy wrote me to once and made a melody for it. Tarja found it easy to sing - which was a great thing - I would have hated to sing it... --Jore

I wish he would stop finding these old poems I once wrote for him! Now I need to find a paper bag to cover my head! Thankfully Tarja's innocent voice gives it some semblance of reality. --Davy

My mother told me one fine day
As we sat silent in the hay
"Take this advice from heaven above
Be sure you only wed for love"

"For some who wed think love's for fools
And say tis wealth alone that rules
But heart and soul will tell you true
When love should lay its hold on you

He may not be a handsome jack
But you may find what he may lack
Is just the thing that makes you swoon
And sigh at night unto the moon

So take a word from one who knows
And follow where your own heart goes
By earth below and heaven above
Be sure you only wed for love"
