You Beat All I Ever Saw

I've walked though every town
 Saw fortunes lost and found
 And when your trail failed
 I walked holes in both my soles
 But I don't expect you back
 You're somewhere making tracks
 I crossed your burning bridges
 And walked through miles of sand
 Met the lawless and the law
 But you beat all I ever saw
 I dreamed a million miles
 About your eyes and smiles
 And since I'd loved the very best
 I could turn from all the rest
 And I'd scan the skies for you
 But I only saw your hue
 They have drawn away your mould
 You were made of frozen gold
 And your heart would never thaw
 You beat all I ever saw
 You're the only light
 That can tear my fall of night
 It comes from wanting you
 And breaks my wheel in two
 I tried to turn away
 When there dawns a new born day
 But I can't loose your memory
 You've got my brightest thougt
 And you break me like a sprout
 You beat all I ever saw
