That Same Old Obsession Lyrics - Gordon Lightfoot

I come to this garden, I come here to rest 

Early each day upon rising 

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 stealing 

Someone is weeping, I'm calling her 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
