That Same Old Obsession Lyrics by Gordon Lightfoot

That Same Old Obsession Lyrics

    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
