Barbara Dickson

I am the great sun, but you do not see me
And I am the husband, but you turn away
I am the captive, but you do not free me
And I am the captain you will not obey me

I am the truth, but you will not believe me
I am the city where you will not stay
And I am your wife, your child, but you will leave me
And I am that God to whom you will not pray

I am your counsel, but you will not heed me
And I am your lover whom you will betray
I am the victor, but you do not cheer me
And I am the holy dove whom you will slay

I am your life, but if you will not name me
Seal up your soul with tears, and never blame me
