You Beat All I Ever Saw
I've walked though every town
Saw fortunes lost and found
And when your trail failed
I walked holes in both my soles
But I don't expect you back
You're somewhere making tracks
I crossed your burning bridges
And walked through miles of sand
Met the lawless and the law
But you beat all I ever saw
I dreamed a million miles
About your eyes and smiles
And since I'd loved the very best
I could turn from all the rest
And I'd scan the skies for you
But I only saw your hue
They have drawn away your mould
You were made of frozen gold
And your heart would never thaw
You beat all I ever saw
You're the only light
That can tear my fall of night
It comes from wanting you
And breaks my wheel in two
I tried to turn away
When there dawns a new born day
But I can't loose your memory
You've got my brightest thougt
And you break me like a sprout
You beat all I ever saw
Saw fortunes lost and found
And when your trail failed
I walked holes in both my soles
But I don't expect you back
You're somewhere making tracks
I crossed your burning bridges
And walked through miles of sand
Met the lawless and the law
But you beat all I ever saw
I dreamed a million miles
About your eyes and smiles
And since I'd loved the very best
I could turn from all the rest
And I'd scan the skies for you
But I only saw your hue
They have drawn away your mould
You were made of frozen gold
And your heart would never thaw
You beat all I ever saw
You're the only light
That can tear my fall of night
It comes from wanting you
And breaks my wheel in two
I tried to turn away
When there dawns a new born day
But I can't loose your memory
You've got my brightest thougt
And you break me like a sprout
You beat all I ever saw
