Looking for You (I Was)
In the medieval night
'Twas love's design
And the sky was open
Like a valentine
All the lacy lights
Where wishes fall
Like Shakespeare's child
I wished on them all
Ah, to be your destiny
Was all that I pursued
I could see the sights from the lofty heights
But my heart obscured the view
I was looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
What could I do?
I was looking for you
Along the black river
The ambassador jewels
And you were reflected
In all that I saw
In the towers of gold
In the wheel and the wing
Gripping my senses
Like an ancient claim
Many is the time I knelt in the light
Appealing to all that I knew
Guide my eyes and steps
That I may find love true
I was looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
What could I do?
Oh, I was looking for you
Come on, darlin'
All that hearts desire
Was written before us
In the medieval fire
It was love's design
In the glittering stars
Like Shakespeare's child
To be where you are (where you are)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you
From the Portobello road (looking for you)
To the Port of Marseilles where the dervish turns (looking for you, looking for you)
Where the wild goats play (looking for you, looking for you)
I was (looking for you, looking for you)
I was (looking for you, looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you, looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
I was looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (I'm looking for you)
Looking for you (I'm looking for you)
For you (looking for you)
I was looking for you
'Twas love's design
And the sky was open
Like a valentine
All the lacy lights
Where wishes fall
Like Shakespeare's child
I wished on them all
Ah, to be your destiny
Was all that I pursued
I could see the sights from the lofty heights
But my heart obscured the view
I was looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
What could I do?
I was looking for you
Along the black river
The ambassador jewels
And you were reflected
In all that I saw
In the towers of gold
In the wheel and the wing
Gripping my senses
Like an ancient claim
Many is the time I knelt in the light
Appealing to all that I knew
Guide my eyes and steps
That I may find love true
I was looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
What could I do?
Oh, I was looking for you
Come on, darlin'
All that hearts desire
Was written before us
In the medieval fire
It was love's design
In the glittering stars
Like Shakespeare's child
To be where you are (where you are)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you
From the Portobello road (looking for you)
To the Port of Marseilles where the dervish turns (looking for you, looking for you)
Where the wild goats play (looking for you, looking for you)
I was (looking for you, looking for you)
I was (looking for you, looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you, looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
I was looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (looking for you)
Looking for you (I'm looking for you)
Looking for you (I'm looking for you)
For you (looking for you)
I was looking for you
