That Same Old Obsession
Longing in a Garden: Love's Unyielding Hold
Lyrics
I come to this garden, I come here to rest
I seek solace in this garden.
Early each day upon rising
Every morning, I contemplate my lost love.
I think of my lost love from over the sea
Reflecting on a love separated by the sea.
And sometimes I've wondered, if she thinks of me
Questioning if she thinks of me.
I long to recall every kiss, every kind word
I yearn to remember every kiss and kind word.
I miss her so much I could die
Intense longing, missing her profoundly.
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
Evil influences have taken hold of her heart.
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
The persistent obsession continues to keep us apart.
There's peace in the garden, there's peace in the air
Tranquility exists in the garden and the air.
Peace in the sound of the river
Peace resonates in the river's sound.
There's peace in the meadow, the sun shines like gold
Peace in the meadow; the sun symbolizes happiness.
And if she were with me there'd be peace in my soul
If she were present, peace would fill my soul.
I long to return to the place I remember
I yearn to revisit a cherished place.
The taste of her lips close to mine
The memory of her lips close to mine lingers.
I could do much better if I could be strong
Struggling to be strong, knowing I could do better.
Come into my garden but leave me alone
Inviting her into my world but desiring solitude.
I come to this garden, I come here to rest
Returning to the garden for solace.
Just as the night comes stealing
Night falls as I seek comfort.
Someone is weeping, I'm calling her name
Hearing someone weeping, calling her name.
Deep in the garden, deep in my brain
Intense emotions in the garden and my mind.
I long to recall every kiss, every kind word
Repeating the desire to remember every detail.
I miss her so much I could die
Intense longing, a feeling of potential death without her.
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
Evil forces persist in holding her heart captive.
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
The enduring obsession continues to keep us apart.
But the creatures of evil have captured her heart
Evil forces still control her heart.
And that same old obsession still keeps us apart
The persistent obsession remains a barrier between us.
