I come to this garden
|
I come here to rest
|
Early each day upon risin'
|
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 stealin'
|
Someone is weeping
|
She's calling my 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
|

That Same Old Obsession
