That Same Old Obsession

I come to this garden, I come here to rest
 Early each day upon rising
 I think of my lost love from over the sea
 And sometimes I've wondered, if she thinks of me
 I long to recall every kiss, every kind word
 I miss her so much I could die
 But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
 And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
 There's peace in the garden, there's peace in the air
 Peace in the sound of the river
 There's peace in the meadow, the sun shines like gold
 And if she were with me there'd be peace in my soul
 I long to return to the place I remember
 The taste of her lips close to mine
 I could do much better if I could be strong
 Come into my garden but leave me alone
 I come to this garden, I come here to rest
 Just as the night comes stealing
 Someone is weeping, I'm calling her name
 Deep in the garden, deep in my brain
 I long to recall every kiss, every kind word
 I miss her so much I could die
 But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
 And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
 But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
 And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
