She who remained in the depth of my being In the twilight of gleams and glimpses She who'd never smiled But given it up in denial Will be my last gift to you Folded into the last song Words have wooed her, but haven't won her Persuasion has reached to her, but come up empty And I've gone from country to country Keeping her in the core of my heart And around have risen and fallen the growth and decay of my life And all over my thoughts and actions, my slumbers and dreams She ruled, yet dwelled alone and apart And she stayed alone in whatever you call it Waiting for you to see her I found a joy of my own I found a joy of my own I found a joy of my own I found a joy of my own I found a joy of my own I found a joy of my own I found a joy of my own I found a joy of my own
