Her fleeting way evades me and I won't hope she's outside, 
Not waiting close by somewhere because if she is she hides
My own's a state of ruin, plagued by all I mend
While ache and lonesome silence Keep her just around the bend

I would search the world back and again for her my darling
If I could overcome this idle soul I'm guarding
Alone at my expense, but she could wrestle the reticence graven on my core

If she could loose these shackles I'd run to warmth in turn
Or could I lift renewed eyes and teach myself to learn?
See I mirrored those unrestrained, I'd contort my fasten jaw
Despising my disdain for every earnest thing I saw


I would search the world back and again for her my darling
If I could overcome this idle soul I'm guarding
Alone at my expense, but she could wrestle the reticence graven on my core

The yearning don't stay quiet, no want of wistful lack
She might have just passed over without need to look back
But in my fleeting moments I bet on her and I go
With remnants of belief left somewhere in this idle soul

I would search the world back and again
For her, my darling
If I could overcome this bridled soul I'm guarding
Alone at my expense, but she could wrestle the reticence graven on my core
Graven on my core
