A slave by another name,
And yet a slave I still am.
You whip me with words, love.
Your wish is my command.
You say you're a bird by south,
Swaying by the breeze and free.
But still in shackles to air, lark,
Held by the wind to be.
Hence i am the collared dog,
There by your faithful side.
I cannot be love-free, dear,
for my love is too strong to hide.
