Gustav Mahler's Letter of Intent

How can we agree on ideas
If your ideas are not your own
It's in our love that we should agree
Shield us from all enemies

In return, you'd have all of me
I would give my loyalty
If you could view my music as your own
Spur me to heights yet unknown

This talk of your music, I cannot abide
When it's just for you, not all mankind
I am no philistine but I want a wife
A colleague could not be my life
For this to be right
The role for you, is more noble
Faithful partnering

Haven, heaven can't be broken

You must make sure that you understand
Before you concede to take my hand
If you are clear that you can agree
A blissful life we can lead

This talk of your music is mere vanity
Ever diminished circles
If you can't renounce it then we cannot be
For it's in our love that we'll agree
That we'll submerge
Where I'll retrieve, rebuild myself
Unassailable

Haven, heaven, can't be broken
Haven, heaven, can't be broken

You must make sure that you understand
Before you concede to take my hand
If you are clear that you can agree
A blissful life we can lead
