That Same Old Obsession

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
